import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_NUMERIC, 'de_DE')
u'%.1f' % 1.0
assert '1.0' == u'%.1f' % 1.0


Fails with HEAD and 2.4 because the locale is used and
1,0 is generated rather than 1.0.

I tried to come up with a test case, but it always
passes when run with the test suite.  I could only
reproduce in the interpreter.  Both the fix and test
are attached.  The test has some debugging to try and
figure out the problem.

The patch looks good.

What's strange is that if you run the snippet in Python 2.3
you don't get the assertion error (at least I don't).

I can confirm the patch compiles and fixes the problem.
I also can't reproduce the problem except from the python
shell.  Weird.

Confirmed here too. Your test fails with unpatched HEAD when
run from regrtest (I have de_DE locale in the environment).

One thing that can interfere with the shell but not in a test script is readline...

mwh, good point.  I need to keep that in mind.
mal, that's an interesting note about 2.3.  Same for me, it
works. I guess unicode formatting changed between 2.3 and 2.4.
