python datetime localization

Question

What do I need to do (modules to load, locale methods to invoke, etc.) so that when I call:

datetime.date(2009,1,16).strftime(\"%A %Y-%b-%d\")

Answer 1

After setting your locale (with locale.setlocale) You can use the locale modules' nl_langinfo method like so:

time.strftime(locale.nl_langinfo(locale.D_T_FMT), time.localtime())
