locale.setlocale() does not work if you pass it a
unicodeobject instead of astr(locale.py, line 576):Maybe it would be better to do a check like this?
In particular, this can bite you if you use the
unicode_literalsfuture import, displaying a not-so-helpful error message ("ValueError: too many values to unpack" in _build_localename).ned-deily commentedon Feb 27, 2014
Thanks for the report. There was a lengthy discussion of this behavior a few years ago in bpo-3067. At that time it was decided not to change this behavior for 2.7. I'm not sure if the __future__ "unicode_literals" was considered then, however you can work around it by using the b"" literal syntax:

I see. Thanks for the information.
