I think you're misusing locale. There is no guarantee that any specific locale will have properties (like grouping) set to a known value. Are you trying to format money? Then you need a special class so that you can say:
d = Dollars(1000000.01) print "You have %s in your account" % d
and get
You have $1,000,000.01 in your account.

why is this a misuse of locale? it's exactly what locale is meant for isn't it?
