STINNER Victor added the comment: "If we don't fix this (I'm leaning that way myself), I think we should somehow document the limitation. There are ways to acknowledge the limitation without getting into the specifics of this particular issue."
I agree to documentation the limitation and close this issue as "wontfix". A workaround is to format as a bytes string, and then decode the result from the locale encoding. It looks like locale.getpreferredencoding(True) should be used, not locale.getpreferredencoding(False). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15276> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
