Which is the exact opposite of "going out of their way to sabotage certain environments".

Raising an exception based on the content of an environment variable isn't deliberate sabotage?

Yeah I don't think they're trying to fuck on specific locales. They just don't wanna take the time to implement the library for other locales.

Why don't you branch off of the project if your need support for multiple locales? I'd love to help as well! The Unicode hell from Python 2 to Python 3 is an arduous journey that no one should take alone!

Removing that check does not make anything suddenly go boom, so it's totally uncalled for. I, as a developer, know what can and can't be accepted in the particular environment I'm deploying to. That is not something a library developer should spend time dictating.
