It looks like the development version of babel http://babel.pocoo.org/docs/api/numbers/#babel.numbers.get_territory_currencies can do what you want: $ LANG=en_US.UTF-8 python Python 2.7.5+ (default, Feb 27 2014, 19:37:08) [GCC 4.8.1] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import babel.numbers as bn >>> bn.get_territory_currencies("DE") ['EUR'] >>> print bn.format_currency(1.234, "EUR") €1.23 >>> print bn.format_currency(1.234, "EUR", locale="DE") 1,23 € >>> import babel >>> babel.__version__ '2.0-dev' _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
