Locale is set without call to locale.setlocale(). This issue occurs in both Jython 2.5 and 2.7.

$ export LC_ALL="pl_PL.UTF-8"
$ python2.5 -c 'import time; print(time.strftime("%d %b %Y", time.gmtime(time.time())))'

$ python2.7 -c 'import time; print(time.strftime("%d %b %Y", time.gmtime(time.time())))'

$ jython2.5 -c 'import time; print(time.strftime("%d %b %Y", time.gmtime(time.time())))'

In CPython, locale specified in environmental variables is used only after call to locale.setlocale() with locale argument set to empty string:
$ python2.5 -c 'import locale, time; locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, ""); print(time.strftime("%d %b %Y", time.gmtime(time.time())))'

$ python2.7 -c 'import locale, time; locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, ""); print(time.strftime("%d %b %Y", time.gmtime(time.time())))'
