[Python-Dev] LC_NUMERIC, gtk and Patch 774665

[Nick Coghlan]

A problem was recently reported on wxPython-dev that smells strongly of 
this issue with GTK changing the LC_NUMERIC locale to something other 
than 'C' causing subsequent severe problems in the handling of floats by 
the Python interpreter.

I went looking for Christian's proposed PEP (to make Python more locale 
agnostic when it comes to LC_NUMERIC), and didn't find it listed in PEP 
0. The last activity on Gustavo's patch was in December 2003, and the 
last comment in September.

What's the current state of this?

Regards,
Nick.
