By stays alive I meant it should be kept somewhere where it doesn't  
get cleaned up (i.e created as a temporary object in function call  
somewhere) until the program is finished.

I usually create the Locale object inside of a main method:

def Main():
	app = wx.App()
	mylocale = wx.Locale(xxxx)
	...
	app.MainLoop()

if __name__ == '__main__':
	Main()

The 'Main' function doesn't return until the MainLoop is finished so  
the 'mylocale' object doesn't get deleted until the program exits.
