@uranusjr uranusjr commented Jan 3, 2023

The LC_MESSAGES value in locale is not universally available. The value is generally imported from C headers through localemodule.c. The sourc notes this specifically:

cpython/Lib/locale.py

Lines 25 to 26 in 73097d9

# Yuck: LC_MESSAGES is non-standard: can't tell whether it exists before
# trying the import. So __all__ is also fiddled at the end of the file.

This makes the fact more visible to users only reading the documentation.
