My LANGUAGE is set tu eu_ES but the getlocale() 
output is (None, None).
This is check with the command

python -c "import locale; print locale.getlocale()"

python version 2.4
os. linux - ubuntu

It's an intended behavior and conforms POSIX standard.
locale doesn't set until program calls locale.setlocale()
explicitly.

miffy(perky):~% LC_ALL=ko_KR.UTF-8 python

information.
>>> import locale
>>> locale.getlocale()
(None, None)
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
'ko_KR.UTF-8'
>>> locale.getlocale()
['ko_KR', 'utf']

Sorry. The example is wrong. If I execute the comands you show
(setlocale() and them getlocale()) I get the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/locale.py", line 365, in getlocale
    return _parse_localename(localename)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/locale.py", line 278, in
_parse_localename
    raise ValueError, 'unknown locale: %s' % localename
ValueError: unknown locale: eu_ES

(I find this error when i want to use pybliographic and it
use setlocale before getlocale)
