Stefan Krah added the comment: 127 means "no-more-grouping", so Python behaves as instructed by the OS.
As you see, the OS prescribes 1.345.677,222 for *monetary* quantities and 1345677,222 otherwise. According to http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIN_1333 , for non monetary quantities DIN-1333 says *empty spaces* *may* be used as separators. DIN-5008 says they *should* be used. :) Most operating systems use [3, 3, 0] also for de_DE 'grouping', but given the unclear situation it's hard to claim a bug in OSX. The only way out of this would be to introduce a new 'm' locale specifier that uses mon_grouping. ---------- nosy: +mark.dickinson _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16944> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
