[issue2522] locale.format() problems with decimal separator

[Andrii V. Mishkovskyi]

New submission from Andrii V. Mishkovskyi <mishok13 at gmail.com>:

locale.format() doesn't insert correct decimal separator to string
representation when 'format' argument has '\r' or '\n' symbols in it.
This bug has been reproduced on Python 2.5.2 and svn-trunk.

Python 2.4.5 (#2, Mar 12 2008, 14:42:24)
[GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu4)] on linux2

>>> import locale
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "ru_RU.UTF-8")
'ru_RU.UTF-8'
>>> a = 1.234
>>> print locale.format("%f", a)
1,234000
>>> print locale.format("%f\n", a)
1,234000

>>> print locale.format("%f\r", a)
1,234000
