print out currency prefixes for all utf8 locales on the current POSIX compliant machine. requires python 2.7 (for the subprocess module). change utfLocaleSuffix to match the utf8 extension for locale names on your machine. you can determine this by running `locale -a | grep 'utf'` and seeing what they look like.

import locale, subprocess;

# on centos this is 'utf8'
utfLocaleSuffix = 'UTF-8'; #darwin/freebsd

def main():
	# get all locales
	locales = subprocess.check_output(['locale', '-a']).split('\n');
	
	out = "";
	for l in locales:
		
		if l.split('.')[-1] != utfLocaleSuffix:
			continue;
		
		locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, l);
		conv = locale.localeconv();
		out = out + " " + '{currency_symbol}'.format(**conv);
	
	print out;
