-import locale
+"""collate - Sort strings intelligently.
 
-if locale.getlocale()[0] is None:
-    locale.setlocale(locale.LC_COLLATE, '')
+This module provides tools to sort strings in a 'human-expected' order.
+
+Because human expectations are fuzzy and often self-contradictory, the
+sort order is not guaranteed to be stable between versions of this
+module (rather the opposite - the primary reason to update it will
+probably be changed sort results).
+
+If available, this module uses the ICU localization library.
+Otherwise, it uses the system's locale database (and produces
+significantly worse results).
+
+This module tries very hard not to fail loudly. It tends to ignore
+most Unicode recoding errors, and will eventually fall back to the C
+locale or raw codepoint-based collation. If you would like loud
+failure, you can use the collate.strings module and the individual
+Collators directly.
+
+Trivial Use:
+------------
+strings = read_strings(...)
+strings.sort(key=collate.key)
+
+Attributes:
+-----------
+backend - The default collation backend. If available, this is
+    collate.icu; otherwise, it is collate.syslocale. In special
+    situations, it may be collate.codepoint.
+
+collate - The default collator. This is the collator of the default
+    backend instantiated with the default system locale and encoding.
