Thank you so much for your answer. The
locale.setlocale(category=locale.LC_NUMERIC,
locale="Slovenian") works like a charm in my application. Now the 'n'
format specifier works as I want. But tell me whether the 'n' format
specifier can be forced to round the float to just one decimal place. I know
that the 'f' format specifier does that by specifying ".1f", but 'f' is not
locale-aware. I have set the 'n' format specifier in my application like
".3n", which is okay if the returned number is two integers and one decimal,
but is not okay if the returned number is one integer and two decimals,
because I want just one decimal, always. How can I make that by using the
'n' format specifier?

Boštjan, the code segment you quote is the *fallback* if the<br>
C module hasn't been built for some reason. The module simply<br>
calls through to the underlying C Library. I notice you're<br>
running on Windows, so this is a useful MS page:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x99tb11d%28VS.71%29.aspx";
target="_blank">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x99tb11d%28VS.71%29.aspx</a><br>
<br>
and you can see there that a call of setlocale (LC_ALL, "English")<br>
is valid (of "French" if you prefer):<br>
