+# Passing the '' locale means that the locale should be set according to the
+# user settings (environment variables).
+# Python sometimes avoids setting the global locale settings. When interfacing
+# with C code (e.g. the curses module or the Subversion bindings), the global
+# locale settings must be initialized correctly. Python 2 does not initialize
+# the global locale settings on interpreter startup. Python 3 sometimes
+# initializes LC_CTYPE, but not consistently at least on Windows. Therefore we
+# explicitly initialize it to get consistent behavior if it's not already
+# initialized. Since CPython commit 177d921c8c03d30daa32994362023f777624b10d,
+# LC_CTYPE is always initialized. If we require Python 3.8+, we should re-check
+# if we can remove this code.
