someone recently broke floating point literals in a rather spectacular way:
$ export LANG=sv_SE.utf8 $ ./python Python 2.5a0 (41806M, Dec 25 2005, 12:12:29) Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
3.14
3.1400000000000001
import locale locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "")
'sv_SE.utf8'
3.14
3.0

Not the first time this happened. :-(
Could someone add a unit test for this please?
