| >>> # Py30a3 >>> import locale >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "en_US.UTF8") 'en_US.UTF8' >>> locale.format("%d", 12345, True) '12,345' >>> "{0:n}".format(12345) '12345' According to the docs the 'n' format should use the locale-dependent separator, so I expected both strings to be '12,345'. Also, it is a pity that locale.format() uses the old deprecated % syntax rather than the much nicer and better str.format() syntax. | ||

| The same issue exists with floats: # continuing the example >>> locale.format("%g", 12345, True) '12,345' >>> "{0:n}".format(12345.0) '12345' The same issue exists in 2.6. | ||
