It's not meant to name a locale, but an encoding. In fact, that the encoding is tied to the locale is IMO a misconception in the POSIX locale machinery. > http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap08.html#tag_08_02 > > Just for my own knowledge: why it has to be one word ? can't it be > PYTHON_LANG ? No technical reason - just because PYTHONPATH, PYTHONHOME, PYTHONUNBUFFERED, PYTHONVERBOSE, PYTHONSTARTUP, and PYTHONCASEOK don't have underscores, either.
