Locale-Sensitive Python Methods

The Python programming language version 3 fully supports Unicode and defines all String types as UTF-16. Python 2 defaults to Ascii so will have more internationalization issues.

Potentially Locale-Sensitive I18n Methods

The following list of functions are considered potentially locale-sensitive in the context of internationalized software development. For true internationalization, these methods should be updated to be locale-specific to the user.
