[issue18378] locale.getdefaultlocale() fails on Mac OS X with default language set to English

[Barry Alan Scott]

Barry Alan Scott added the comment:

Mac OS X use the __CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING env var to setup the locale in for native libraries.

I found that for GUI python code I needed to convert the value in __CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING into a suitable call to setlocale().

The code I use is attached to Issue23797.
