Okay I think prepending locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'C') will
accomplish the same though I don't really know the details of how it
propagates through the stack. Does that sound okay + fixing the comment?
Fabiano pushed the patch so I can send a follow up

The main goal is to avoid the need to run with an environment variable
so direct pytest invocation is as valid as 'make check'. The former
gives much more flexibility
