It appears that wxPython's NLS needs to be explicitly initialised by
creating a wx.Locale() object[1], and this isn't happening.

	http://wiki.wxpython.org/Internationalization

	http://docs.wxwidgets.org/stable/wx_wxlocale.html

[1] You don't need to *do* anything with the object; simply creating
it makes it active:

	The call of this function has several global side effects
	which you should understand: first of all, the application
	locale is changed - note that this will affect many of
	standard C library functions such as printf() or strftime(). 
	Second, this wxLocale object becomes the new current global
	locale for the application and so all subsequent calls to
	wxGetTranslation() will try to translate the messages using
	the message catalogs for this locale.

I'm guessing that we may need to explicitly revert e.g. LC_NUMERIC to
avoid writing files with a comma as the decimal separator.
