In python3:
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_NUMERIC, "cs_CZ.UTF-8")
'cs_CZ.UTF-8'
>>> s = format(Decimal("-1.5"), ' 019.18n')
>>> len(s)
20
>>> print(s)
-0 000 000 000 001,5
Python3 uses unicode for strings. Python2 uses bytes. To format
unicode in python2, you do:
>>> s2 = locale.format("% 019.18g", Decimal("-1.5"))
>>> len(s2)
19
>>> print s2
-0000000000000001,5
Not quite the same thing, clearly. So, is there a way to access the
python3 unicode format semantics in python2? Just passing format a
unicode format string results in a UnicodeDecodeError.
