You've got the point. My code uses wxLocale class from wxPython, and sets the wxLANGUAGE_POLISH locale. After setting this locale, I have added the statement: locale.setlocale(locale.LC_NUMERIC, "C") and everything seems to be normal now. I agree with the comments in the tracker item, that the float, str(), repr() functions should be locale-independent. We have the functions in the locale module, if someone needs the locale-dependent string-float conversions. -- Tomasz Lisowski -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
