[New-bugs-announce] [issue42156] Currency not correct for all locales

[Stefan Völkl]

New submission from Stefan Völkl <stefan.voelkl at fotozupple.de>:

I found that the currency formatting does not work correctly for all locales. For example:

{{{
import locale

amount = 24.99
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'it_IT.UTF-8')

price = locale.currency(amount)

print(price)
}}}

returns "€ 24,99".
It should return "24,99 €", just like noted at http://publications.europa.eu/code/it/it-370303.htm
under "Posizione del simbolo (€) negli importi in cifre".
