And just to show that python is doing the right thing, if the locale is set up correctly, I'll show the following hack: >>> import locale >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'en_US') 'en_US' >>> locale.currency(24.99) '$24.99' >>> locale._override_localeconv["p_cs_precedes"] = 0 >>> locale.currency(24.99) '24.99$' Notice the change from '$24.99' to '24.99$' when I change p_cs_precedes to 0. WARNING: you really, really shouldn't use _override_localeconv. It looks like it exists just for testing, but I'm using it here to show that currency formatting does respect p_cs_precedes. On the other hand, I've often wanted to build up a locale programmatically and then use it, so maybe we should support that use case. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42156> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
