A close sibling is locale.getlocale(), which returns the current locale setting as (language, encoding). A close sibling is locale.getdefaultlocale(), which returns the default locale from environment variables. A close sibling is locale.strxfrm(), which transforms a string to one that can be used in locale-aware comparisons.
