-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I want to format values to the german form eg. 1.034,56 but locale.format() doesn't work for me.
Here is a little test program: import decimal, locale print locale.getdefaultlocale() print locale.localeconv() locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, ('de_DE', 'UTF-8')) print locale.localeconv() k = decimal.Decimal('1034.56') #k = 1034.56 print 'k', k, type(k) k1 = locale.format_string('%12s',k,True) print 'k1', k1, type(k1) k1a = locale.format('%12s',k,True,True) print 'k1a', k1a, type(k1a) k2 = unicode(k1) print 'k2',k2,type(k2) print k1.find(',') print k1a.find(',') print k2.find(',') ab = locale.localeconv()['decimal_point'] print 'ab', ab print locale.localeconv()['decimal_point'].find(',') print locale.localeconv()['mon_decimal_point'].find(',') ac = locale.localeconv()['mon_decimal_point'] print 'ac', ac, len(ac) print locale.localeconv() k1, k1a, k2 are printed as 1034.56 Egon -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFKZNyaZRiDo9Iq4qIRAuqhAKCW3x7iDbrxUDp3M/qHabwbw92osQCgi6N2 mmgb54LACmrd/Wi4BRi2iZo= =psal -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
