How do I get datetime.datetime.now() printed out in the native language?
>>> session.deathDate.strftime("%a, %d %b %Y")
'Fri, 12 Jun 2009'
I'd like to get the same result but in local language.

A:
You can just set the locale like in this example:
>>> import time
>>> print time.strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S")

>>> import locale
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, "sv_SE") # swedish
'sv_SE'
>>> print time.strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S")

BTW it won't work under Windows. Check this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/955986/what-is-the-correct-way-to-set-pythons-locale/956084#956084

It also requires the computer you run this on to have the locale you are trying to use generated. On GNU/Linux systems, locale -a will give you the listing of the available locales. The steps for adding new locales differ between distros.
