Comment:
Important points from discussion:
The documentation for USE_THOUSAND_SEPARATOR implies that it only has
effect when USE_L10N is on, and current behavior is correct.
The documentation for NUMBER_GROUPING and THOUSAND_SEPARATOR says (on each
of them):
Note that if USE_L10N is set to True, then the locale-dictated format
has higher precedence and will be applied instead.
implying that when USE_L10N is False, the values should be used, and the
submitter is correct.
So it seems like the documentation is not entirely consistent, and at the
very least it should be clarified.
One way to interpret the documentation consistently is:
USE_THOUSAND_SEPARATOR is a sort of partial override, indicating that
NUMBER_GROUPING and THOUSAND_SEPARATOR should be used even though USE_L10N
is on -- in that case the submitter is probably correct, and the line he
refers to should be changed from
{{{#!python
use_grouping = settings.USE_L10N and settings.USE_THOUSAND_SEPARATOR
}}}
to
{{{#!python
use_grouping = (not settings.USE_L10N) or settings.USE_THOUSAND_SEPARATOR
}}}
Either way, marking as accepted as there clearly is a discrepancy between
the code and parts of the documentation. Something needs to be fixed.
