python datetime localization
<p>What do I need to do (modules to load, locale methods to invoke, etc.) so that when I call:</p>

<pre><code>datetime.date(2009,1,16).strftime("%A %Y-%b-%d")
</code></pre>

<p>instead of getting:</p>

<pre><code>Out[20]: 'Friday 2009-Jan-16'
</code></pre>

<p>i get spanish/french/german/... output</p>

<pre><code>Out[20]: 'Viernes 2009-Ene-16'
</code></pre>

<p>without having to change my whole operating system's locale (i.e. just use python calls to dynamically set the locale and keep the changes scoped within my app)</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p></p>
