Since this bug has been reported, locale.localeconv() has been fixed in bpo-31900 to temporarily set LC_CTYPE to LC_NUMERIC to decode numeric fields of localeconv() from the proper encoding. I guess that a similar fix can be applied to locale.nl_langinfo(): set LC_CTYPE to LC_NUMERIC if the parameter is a numeric field. I only knew locale.nl_langinfo(locale.CODESET). I didn't know that this function accepted other arguments :-) I even wrote an article about these locale bugs :-) https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/5191 See also bpo-35697: "decimal: formatter error if LC_NUMERIC uses a different encoding than LC_CTYPE". ---------- nosy: +vstinner _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue25812> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
