I didn't start playing with Satchmo until after upgrading to Snow
Leopard, so I don't know what originated this defect, but I ran into
the same issue as documented here:
http://groups.google.com/group/satchmo-users/browse_thread/thread/ae7d6c6e3b06fece
After digging down, I discovered that some of the LC_MONETARY entries
(found in /usr/share/locale) for en_US and en_CA were incorrect on my
machine. Instead of
USD
$
.

The numeric rows had -1 while the alpha rows were blank. My solution
was to copy LC_MONETARY for these two locales from a valid Leopard
machine.
A test for whether the locale data is valid (other than looking at the
file) is:
>>> import locale
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'en_US.UTF-8')
>>> locale.localeconv()
{'mon_decimal_point': '.', 'int_frac_digits': 2, 'p_sep_by_space': 0,
'frac_digits': 2, 'thousands_sep': ',', 'n_sign_posn': 1,
'decimal_point': '.', 'int_curr_symbol': 'USD ', 'n_cs_precedes': 1,
'p_sign_posn': 1, 'mon_thousands_sep': ',', 'negative_sign': '-',
'currency_symbol': '$', 'n_sep_by_space': 0, 'mon_grouping': [3, 3,
0], 'p_cs_precedes': 1, 'positive_sign': '', 'grouping': [3, 3, 0]}
If any of the dictionary values are 127 (eg. 'int_frac_digits': 127 ),
then the LC_MONETARY file has a row with a value of -1.
