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.

Logged In: YES user_id=38388 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).

Logged In: YES user_id=908 I can confirm the patch compiles and fixes the problem. I also can't reproduce the problem except from the python shell. Weird.

Logged In: YES user_id=1188172 Confirmed here too. Your test fails with unpatched HEAD when run from regrtest (I have de_DE locale in the environment).

Logged In: YES user_id=33168 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.
