When getdefaultlocale receives an empty string in one
of the LANGUAGE,
LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE or LANG variables it passes it to
_parse_localename
function causing a ValueError. It can be easily fixed
by checking the
truth value of the os.environ.get instead of checking
if it's None. The
added patch fixes the problem.

Thanks for the patch. Applied as locale.py 1.28 and 1.25.10.1.
