[IronPython] IronPython 2.0.1 repr of floats on non UK Windows

[Dave Fugate]

Under German 32-bit Vista SP1 I get the following:
	C:\Users\merllab.REDMOND\Desktop\IronPython-2.0.1>ipy.exe
	IronPython 2.0 (2.0.0.0) on .NET 2.0.50727.3074
	Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
	>>> repr(0.1)
	'0.10000000000000001'
	>>> #Make sure we're really localized
	>>> try:
	...     1/0
	... except Exception, e:
	...     print e.message
	...
	Es wurde versucht, durch 0 (null) zu teilen.
	>>> ^Z

	C:\Users\merllab.REDMOND\Desktop\IronPython-2.0.1>type blah.cs
	using System;
	
	public class Blah {
      	  public static void Main() {
            	    System.Console.WriteLine(0.1);
	        }
	}
	C:\Users\merllab.REDMOND\Desktop\IronPython-2.0.1>blah.exe
	0,1

Are you sure this isn't IronPython 1.x?

Thanks,

Dave

Thanks for reporting this Michael.  It's a known issue (see http://ironpython.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=14022), but actually should be working under IP 2.0...

Hello guys,

Is this a known issue?

WinXP SP3 Spanish
>>> repr(0.1)
'0,10000000000000001'

Notice the comma instead of the decimal point. This is honoring the
locale but screwing anything that tries to use the string programattically.

Michael
