New submission from René Fleschenberg:
locale.setlocale() does not work if you pass it a ``unicode`` object instead of
a ``str`` (locale.py, line 576):
``if locale and type(locale) is not type(""):``
Maybe it would be better to do a check like this?
``if locale and not isinstance(locale, basestring):``
In particular, this can bite you if you use the ``unicode_literals`` future
import, displaying a not-so-helpful error message ("ValueError: too many values
to unpack" in _build_localename).
