I'm able to pass a string in 2.4; what am I doing wrong?
I'll update the patch with more details on the other two
functions.

Python 2.4.2 (#1, Oct 16 2005, 05:52:17)
[GCC 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more
information.
>>> import locale
>>> locale.format('This is my %dnd test', 2)
'This is my 2nd test'
>>>

The patch is wrong, format() did never allow anything other
than a single %char. (The difference is that it's now
documented).

A little bit more should be written about the two new functions.
