someone recently broke floating point literals in a rather spectacular way:

$ export LANG=sv_SE.utf8 $ ./python Python 2.5a0 (41806M, Dec 25 2005, 12:12:29) Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

3.14 3.1400000000000001 import locale locale.setlocale(locale.LCALL, "") 'sv_SE.utf8' 3.14 3.0
