- Patch #1400181, fix unicode string formatting to not use the locale.
This is how string objects work. u'%f' could use , instead of .
for the decimal point. Now both strings and unicode always use periods.
This is the code that would break:
import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_NUMERIC, 'de_DE')
u'%.1f' % 1.0
assert '1.0' == u'%.1f' % 1.0
I couldn't create a test case which fails, but this fixes the problem.
(tested in interpreter and reported fixed by others)
