New submission from Mark Dickinson:
[Observed by one of my colleagues]
The locale.str docstring currently looks like this (and apparently has been
this way since the dawn of time):
def str(val):
"""Convert float to integer, taking the locale into account."""
The output of str doesn't *look* like an integer on my machine. :-)

'fr_FR'
>>> locale.str(34.56)
'34,56'
