Strange behavior with different locale settings

[Mikael Lexén]

Hi

I wanted to try SpamBayes and downloaded the source. Made all
arrangements and started outlook and got the following in PythonWins
"Python Trace Collector".

Outlook Spam Addin module loading SpamAddin - Connecting to Outlook
Traceback (most recent call last):

I tried  float("0.02") both in PyhtonWin and in a dos-box and every
thing worked ok

 I changed my locale from Swedish to English an now every thing worked
as expected

Outlook Spam Addin module loading
Registered: SpamBayes.OutlookAddin
Outlook Spam Addin module loading

Created new configuration file

Either bayes database or message database is missing - creating new
Bayes database initialized with 0 spam and 0 good messages SpamAddin -
Disconnecting from Outlook Bayes database is not dirty - not writing
Addin terminating: 1 COM client and 2 COM servers exist.

What's wrong?

I'am running WindowsXP,Python 2.2.2 and Win32all build 152
