Issue 10083: locale.currency() uses different formatting than system locale for negative values (original) (raw)

• On Windows Vista (non working system):

locale.localeconv() {'mon_decimal_point': ',', 'int_frac_digits': 2, 'p_sep_by_space': 1, 'frac_digits': 2, 'thousands_sep': '.', 'n_sign_posn': 4, 'decimal_point': ',', 'int_curr_symbol': 'EUR', 'n_cs_precedes': 1, 'p_sign_posn': 4, 'mon_thousands_sep': '.', 'negative_sign': '-', 'currency_symbol': '\x80', 'n_sep_by_space': 1, 'mon_grouping': [3, 0], 'p_cs_precedes': 1, 'positive_sign': '', 'grouping': [3, 0]}

• On Windows XP (Working system): {'mon_decimal_point': ',', 'int_frac_digits': 2, 'p_sep_by_space': 1, 'frac_digits': 2, 'thousands_sep': '.', 'n_sign_posn': 1, 'decimal_point': ',', 'int_curr_symbol': 'EUR', 'n_cs_precedes': 0, 'p_sign_posn': 1, 'mon_thousands_sep': '.', 'negative_sign': '-', 'currency_symbol': '\x80', 'n_sep_by_space': 1, 'mon_grouping': [3, 0], 'p_cs_precedes': 0, 'positive_sign': '', 'grouping': [3, 0]}

The locale is set to 'Dutch_Belgium.1252'
