This Python code:

#!/usr/bin/env python

# encoding: utf-8

import sys

import os

import locale

def main():

print locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')

print locale.format("%d", 282929992, grouping=True)

if __name__ == '__main__':

main()

produces the expected result when run under Python 2.5.2 from bash shell on Mac OS X:

en_US.UTF-8

282,929,992

and this unexpected result when run from PyMate:

	PyMate r8111 running Python 2.5.2 (/usr/bin/env python) >>> loc.py

C/en_US.UTF-8/C/C/C/C

282929992

Notice that the integer is formatted into comma-separated groups when run from the shell, but not when run from PyMate.

Changing this line:

print locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')

to this:

print locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'en_US.UTF-8')

gives the expected results in PyMate.
