As the person who closed the ticket, your mail here indicates that I may have
been too harsh, and I apologize for that. I would like to assure you that your
intentions appear good, and your proposal was rejected purely on technical
reasons, mostly according to the documentation of USE_THOUSAND_SEPARATOR and
USE_L10N.
However, having looked again, I now think that you do have a case -- while for
the settings you pointed to, the documentation strongly implies the current
behavior, the documentation for NUMBER_GROUPING and THOUSAND_SEPARATOR does
support your interpretation (and in your first message you mentioned having set
NUMBER_GROUPING=3). For both these settings, the documentation says:
Note that if USE_L10N is set to True, then the locale-dictated format
has
higher precedence and will be applied instead.
So -- to me, it looks like the documentation is not entirely consistent, and
should be clarified; and while changing the behavior would be problematic,
changing it to match (some) documentation should be a possibility.
I'm waiting for other opinions -- in particular, anyone involved with the
introduction of these settings, who can explain the original intentions -- to
decide if we should reopen the ticket[1] as is or change it to a documentation
ticket.
Shai.
