One of the python Stack Exchange issues I found that covered this issue
actually suggested using this Perl library! I was indeed quite
surprised python didn't do it right out of the box so that I had to use
what appears to be the pyICU bindings to ICU IBM-maintained C++ libary.

Obviously since this is in an ebook/epub context and collating order
across a variety of languages is a rather intricate issue that normally
addressed by people who know what they are doing... all I wanted to know
was grabbin the language hard-coded in the book's metadata and pass it
to a function that takes care of sorting the dictionary created by
scanning the markdown source and picking up the LaTeX index tags. If
I was crazy enough to think of maintaining my own locale stuff and have
it do the right thing for Hungarian or Portuguese not to mention Greek
and various flavour of Cyrillic... I wouldn't know where to start.

Thanks,

CJ
