common issue: setlocale handling?

[Paul Wise <pabs@debian.org>]

Hi all,

I recently got a bug filed on iotop about its setlocale handling (#593846).

With a quick grep of my system I can see code in the following
packages that looks like they would probably have the same issue:

python-xdg
virt-manager
virtinst
iotop
mercurial-common
python-hachoir-metadata
inkscape
cython
python-gmenu
python-aptdaemon
fontypython
gmobilemedia

Do any of the python code checkers have heuristics that can check for
this? There was discussion at DebConf10 about having lintian run
external programs to check for things like python coding errors and so
on.
