New submission from Ariel Ben-Yehuda <arie...@mail.tau.ac.il>:
unicode formats (u'{:n}'.format) in python 2.x assume that the thousands
seperator is in ascii, so this fails:
>>> import locale
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_NUMERIC, 'fra') # or fr_FR on UNIX
>>> u'{:n}'.format(10000)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module>
u'{:n}'.format(10000)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xa0 in position 2: ordinal
not in range(128)
However, it works correctly in python 3, properly returning '10\xA00000' (the
\xA0 is a nbsp)
