Yes, gnome.program_init() does bad things now. It changes the LC_NUMERIC

I had the same problems and fixed it like this:
program = gnome.program_init(NAME, VERSION)
# gnome.program_init has the bad new habit to modify the locale
# settings (bug #135055); repair it
import locale; locale.setlocale(locale.LC_NUMERIC, "C")
Thanks for help. :)
I thought that locale should be automaticaly imported from the
enviroment. It seems that newer gnome.init started to do this itself.
When I set LC_ALL to "C" everything works fine. It seems that gnome.init
somehow modifies standard python way of handling literals according to
the locale. That's a really Bad Thing(TM).
I fully agree. But the real problem is that Python uses locale-sensitive
libc-functions for parsing floats.
Why? It is a really strange (and stupid) idea. It would break any
programs written in one locale (with ,) and run in another (with .). :/
