No. I said probably you're using format() in a version it is not
supported yet. But I'm not sure about it.
I never lay on server locale dependancy.
I live in Brazil, and here we have numbers formatted this way:
"1.000,00". (dot separates thousands. Comma separates decimal).
So, I did this simple funcion:
def g_brazilian_decimal(s):
return s.replace('.', '*').replace(',', '.').replace('*', ',')
And when I need to show some decimal data, I call:
{{=g_brazilian_decimal('%.2f' % row.my_decimal_field)}}
I don't know if your need is alike mine, but this is how I manage it.
