It's a bug with PyGTK in that merely importing it sets the locale.
But more seriously, it's also a bug in Numpy, in that its string
formatting is dependent on locale (unlike standard floats in Python).

Hi all,
Trying to write to text files some plotted datas, we have a strange
behavour on masked arrays after importing pylab, with the dot decimal
separator replaced by a comma (but not all) :

Thanks for your responses,
Looking comments in the tickets, putting
import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_NUMERIC, 'C')
after the pylab import resolves the problem (but not the bug...).
Have a happy new year

This seems to be a bug (or at least inconsistent behavior) in numpy when
the locale is set (which happens when gtk is imported -- replace 'import
pylab' with 'import gtk' and you'll see the same behavior).
We actually use a workaround for this in other parts of matplotlib,
which is:
for i
