~~~~~~~~~~~
Locale dependent formatting of lists.
The default locale for the functions in this module is determined by the
following environment variables, in that order:
* ``LC_ALL``, and
* ``LANG``
:copyright: (c) 2015-2021 by the Babel Team.

from babel.core import Locale, default_locale
DEFAULT_LOCALE = default_locale()
def format_list(lst, style='standard', locale=DEFAULT_LOCALE):
"""
Format the items in `lst` as a list.
>>> format_list(['apples', 'oranges', 'pears'], locale='en')
u'apples, oranges, and pears'
>>> format_list(['apples', 'oranges', 'pears'], locale='zh')
u'apples\u3001oranges\u548cpears'
>>> format_list(['omena', 'peruna', 'aplari'], style='or', locale='fi')
u'omena, peruna tai aplari'
These styles are defined, but not all are necessarily available in all locales.
The following text is verbatim from the Unicode TR35-49 spec [1].
* standard:
A typical 'and' list for arbitrary placeholders.
eg. "January, February, and March"
* standard-short:
A short version of a 'and' list, suitable for use with short or abbreviated placeholder values.
eg. "Jan., Feb., and Mar."
* or:
A typical 'or' list for arbitrary placeholders.
eg. "January, February, or March"
* or-short:
A short version of an 'or' list.
eg. "Jan., Feb., or Mar."
* unit:
A list suitable for wide units.
eg. "3 feet, 7 inches"
* unit-short:
A list suitable for short units
eg. "3 ft, 7 in"
* unit-narrow:
A list suitable for narrow units, where space on the screen is very limited.
eg. "3′ 7″"
