Hi,
I use the following statements in nearly all python main programs
after the import of all other modules:
--------------------
import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '') # Use preferred locale for
sorting etc.
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_NUMERIC, 'C') # Use default C locale for
numbers
--------------------
Regards Ulli
