Ah, yes, the problem of localization. I've seen ISO committees come to blows over this. Check the Python locale module. There's all sorts of goodies hidden in its dictionary. Just be careful to preserve the use of the full-stop separator in the emitted G-code:-) When I was first participating in ISO committees in the 1980s, I admit I was taken aback by the different conventions. I would write 1,234,567.89 and my German colleagues would object that I meant 1.234.567,89 Ok, I get it! I was told during conversation in the bar after one of these meetings that the switch to using a comma instead of a full stop to indicate a decimal point arose from a German law case involving an old handwritten will with a substantial legacy which appeared to be ambiguous. This explanation is so weird it just might be true. Anybody know? Then there's the matter of representing dates. Erik's site tells me he published this script on 2/1/2014. I had to think twice! By the way, Erik, you have an attractive, well-organized website. Props for posting MD5SUM results for your program codes.
