Cédric Krier added the comment: But you can have some strange behaviour:
>>> import locale >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'fr_FR.UTF-8') 'fr_FR.UTF-8' >>> locale.atof('2.500,5') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/locale.py", line 316, in atof return func(string) ValueError: invalid literal for float(): 2.500.5 >>> locale.atof('2.500') 2.5 If you agree to make it more strict, I can work on a patch, otherwise I will just add some tests on my code. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25543> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
