According to reports on comp.lang.python, the current SVN trunk fails to handle floating point literals if the locale is changed: >>> import locale >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '') 'German_Germany.1252' >>> 3.141592 3.0 This works just fine in 2.4.2. See the later portions of the thread "build curiosities of svn head (on WinXP)" for more details: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_ frm/thread/226584dd47047bb6/e609cb1a0d47e98f

Logged In: YES user_id=55188 This looks like a bug introduced by AST import; r39757 is okay but r39762 has such an error.

Logged In: YES user_id=55188 Okay. Here's a fix.

Logged In: YES user_id=33168 Wow, I thought for sure I broke it with my recent patch to remove support for hex floats. But it looks like just an AST problem (which I can be blamed for too :-). The patch looks fine, but could you add tests so this doesn't happen again. Thanks! I'll be back in a week and try to fix it then if no one gets back to it.

Logged In: YES user_id=38376 I'm not sure you can make too many assumptions about the locale in the test suite, but I'm pretty sure that it would be a good idea to let your "build robot" run the test suite twice; once with the standard C locale, and once with a non-US locale (e.g. sv_SE.utf8 which does include some odd characters, different date and money formats, and a decimal comma).

Logged In: YES user_id=55188 The new patch tests it along with other locale-dependent tests on test__locale. How about this?

Logged In: YES user_id=38376 Looks good to me. I'll check this in shortly.

Logged In: YES user_id=38376 Verified and fixed in SVN. Assinging to Neal, in case he wants to add an extra locale test pass to his build robot.

Logged In: YES user_id=1188172 Neal, you checked in a workaround in test__locale for eu_ES. Can this be closed then?

Logged In: YES user_id=33168 Keeping open as a reminder to fix the regression tests running on the PSF box every 12 hours. Need to have a run in a different locale.

Do we have a test for the problem which verifies the behavior or can I close the bug?

It seems it has been fixed.
