Is it worth making test_locale try first "en_US", then "C", as locale names? None of the systems I've tried have "en_US" as a valid locale.

Logged In: YES user_id=21627 That would be incorrect. The test whether there is grouping in numeric formatting. However, in the C locale, there is no grouping. Most systems should have an English locale - it might have a different name, though.

Logged In: YES user_id=60314 hmmm -- my Linux Mandrake 9.1 does succeed happily with en_US (and on Windows we already use 'en' instead). What systems have you tried, Anthony?

Logged In: YES user_id=29957 I just submitted a patch http://www.python.org/sf/1197218 that makes test_locale try each of en_US.UTF-8, en_US.US-ASCII and en_US in turn.
