setlocale stopped working in lambda python 3.12

apparently between 3.11 and 3.12, locale support was removed?

this code:

import locale

def attempt(c, l=None):
 try:
 loc = locale.setlocale(c, l)
 except Exception as e:
 loc = f"{e}"
 print(f"{c} {l} -> {loc}")

def lambda_handler(event, context):
 attempt(locale.LC_COLLATE)
 attempt(locale.LC_ALL, '')
 attempt(locale.LC_COLLATE)
 attempt(locale.LC_COLLATE, 'en_US.UTF-8')
 attempt(locale.LC_COLLATE, 'hu_HU.UTF-8')

returns this on 3.11:

3 None -> C
6 -> en_US.UTF-8
3 None -> en_US.UTF-8
3 en_US.UTF-8 -> en_US.UTF-8
3 hu_HU.UTF-8 -> hu_HU.UTF-8

but this on 3.12:

3 None -> C
6 -> unsupported locale setting
3 None -> C
3 en_US.UTF-8 -> unsupported locale setting
3 hu_HU.UTF-8 -> unsupported locale setting

it also works locally.
