It doesn't seem to multiply, just ignore the '.'.  For example:
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_NUMERIC, "German")
'German_Germany.1252'
>>> s = locale.atof("3,14")
>>> s
3.1400000000000001
>>> s = locale.atof("3.14")
>>> s
314.0
>>>

Back when I was playing around with locale settings & Outlook to try and
sort out the problems there, I noticed this behaviour in code without the
locale.atof calls as well.  I can't remember how to reproduce it now, though
;)  classifier.LN2 kept ending up as >0, though, and the call there is just
"LN2 = math.log(2)".
