This mailing list is for the development of Python, not development with 
Python. For general questions about how to do things the python-list 
(comp.lang.python.newsgroup) and python-tutor-list are appropriate 
places to ask.

That aside I *think* that Python is always culture invariant in its 
syntax (you always use the '.' point for floating point literals in 
source code) and *also* for how the float type converts strings to 
numbers (float('10.7') and not float('10,7')).

I assume there is a way of turning strings to floats honoring the 
locale, but off the top of my head I don't know what it is.

All the best,

Michael Foord
