Oh cool. Since we're now setting LCNUMERIC at the glibc level can we fix up locale.format. It's is very simplistic at the moment as it groups %s items as numbers: locale.format("%s",1234,1) -> '1,234' and treats non numbers as numbers: locale.format("%s\n",1234,1) -> '12,34\n'

Indeed. The second one is incorrect usage of the function.

Feel free to submit patches. However, make sure they work on all relevant platforms.
