[issue10083] locale.currency() uses different formatting than system locale for negative values
New submission from Bram Mariën bram.mar...@gmail.com:
On Windows Vista and Windows 7 (XP and Ubuntu seem ok):
If the system locale is used (using locale.setlocale(LC_ALL, '') and the system
locale is set to dutch belgium:
If the regional options are set to format negative monetary items as EURO
sign -value, than locale.currency(value) will format it as EURO
sign)value-.
Other formatting options works ok: e.g. if the regional settings display
negative monetary items as (value), than locale.currency(value) will also
display {value).
Reproducable on Python 2.6.x, 2.7.x and 3.1.2 on Windows Vista (32 bit)

Eric Smith e...@trueblade.com added the comment: I don't have a copy of Vista or 7 handy to check with. Could you tell me what locale.localeconv() returns on a non-working system and on a working system (preferably Windows XP)? -- nosy: +eric.smith ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10083 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Eric Smith e...@trueblade.com added the comment: So it looks like locale.currency() is doing the right thing, given the values returned by locale.localeconv(). These values are copied from C's localeconv(), so the problem must be there. I don't see how we can do anything about it on the Python side, unfortunately. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10083 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
