[Jython-users] _locale emulation only supports "C" locale

[<yaq...@gm...>]

I am using a Windows computer with Chinese locale. I can format datetime object with Chinese abbreviated month name:

>>> t = datetime.datetime(2015,11,2) 
>>> print unicode(t.strftime('%Y%b%d')) 
2015十一月02

Now I want to get English abbreviated month name (2015sep02), so I tyied blow code:

import locale 
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'en_US') 
t = datetime.datetime(2015,11,2) 
print t.strftime('%Y%b%d')

But I got erro message: ValueError: _locale emulation only supports "C" locale

How to solve this problem? I am using Jython 2.7.0 library.
