I need to translate numeric data in a string format into a binary format. I

vary depending on the file being read (so I can't rely on current locale
settings).
I'm sure this is a solved problem, but I'm not finding those solutions. Any
pointers?
Try this StackOverflow answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/17815252
--> import locale
--> a = u'545,545.2222'
--> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'en_US.UTF-8')
'en_US.UTF-8'
The problem there is it sets the locale for the entire process -- I just need the conversion step for individual pieces
of data without modifying the user's settings.
