Python change locale with arrow
Question: I have a date string: "Viernes 24 de Octubre". I want to change it to arrow
datetime object. also i have installed es locales: `sudo apt-get install
language-pack-es-base` This doesn't work:

    
    
    print arrow.get('Viernes 24 Octubre', 'dddd D MMMM', locale='es')
    

Thank you


Answer: [`arrow.parser.DateTimeParser()` uses
`calendar.month_name[1:]`](https://github.com/crsmithdev/arrow/blob/2876bf8582a8/arrow/parser.py#L33)
to parse month names i.e., you need to set locale before calling
`arrow.get()`:

    
    
    import calendar
    import locale
    
    print(calendar.month_name[10])
    # -> October
    locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, 'es_ES.UTF-8') # system-dependent locale name
    print(calendar.month_name[10])
    # -> Octubre
    

Note: changing the locale affects the whole program.
