Terry J. Reedy added the comment:
I much prefer a new argument, 'strict=False', to a new, near-duplicate function.
locale.atof('2.500,5') should raise. The only question is what should be
displayed as the invalid literal: the original or the converted. It seems to
me that delocalize should replace the local thousands separator, in this case
'.', with ',' as it replaces the local decimal point with '.'. Then the
invalid literal would be '1,234.5'. And locale.atof('1.5') would become
float('1,5'), which would raise.
