TestDate.py
#!/usr/bin/python
from Foundation import *
form = NSDateFormatter.alloc().init()
# Explicit 24 hour time format used to trump any user settings (I think?)
form.setDateFormat_("HH:mm:ss")
print "Current locale is " + NSLocale.currentLocale().localeIdentifier()
print form.stringFromDate_(NSDate.date())
form.setLocale_(NSLocale.localeWithLocaleIdentifier_("en_US"))
print "Forcing US English"
print form.stringFromDate_(NSDate.date())
