I'm not aware of any way for doing this. You'd have to dive into the
details of the implementation and see if there's some plugin point you
could use.

We aren't updating that database. It's completely outdated and has
wrong information in many cases. I'd strongly recommend anyone for NOT
using it.

If you need ICU data in a Python project, I'd advise to use the much
more popular Babel package, that is actually continuously updated.
