Comment (by karyon):
to be specific, with "locale path" i meant the
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#locale-paths
LOCALE_PATHS setting] as far as i understand, the [
https://github.com/django/django/blob/550cb3a365dee4edfdd1563224d5304de2a57fda/django/utils/formats.py#L62
code for determining the format locale locations] does not look into
LOCALE_PATHS. so yes, as far as i understand one has to specify
FORMAT_MODULE_PATH besides LOCALE_PATHS.
i'm using LOCALE_PATHS for translations. initially i though that any
project using FORMAT_MODULE_PATH also has translations and therefore uses
LOCALE_PATHS anyways, but from a quick github search that doesn't seem to
be the case. so now i wouldn't replace {{{formats}}} by {{{locale}}}, but
rather simply mention that the locale structure can be used.
actually from my point of view it would make sense to merge these
settings. you specify where the locales are, and in there there might be
translations and/or formats. or, one could at least make
FORMAT_MODULE_PATH look into LOCALE_PATHS by default. however, the former
is a python path while the latter is a normal path with slashes. but
maybe, since this has been like that for 8 years according to git blame,
maybe this doesn't need fixing :)
