Public bug reported:
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="18.04.4 LTS (Bionic Beaver)"
The `n_sign_posn` from `localeconv()` is wrong for the en_US locale.
This means that Accounting formats will put a negative sign before the
value instead of wrapping the value in parens. Code:
python
Python 3.6.9 (default, Jul 17 2020, 12:50:27)
[GCC 8.4.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import locale
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'en_US')
'en_US'
>>> locale.localeconv()
{'int_curr_symbol': 'USD ', 'currency_symbol': '$', 'mon_decimal_point':
'.', 'mon_thousands_sep': ',', 'mon_grouping': [3, 3, 0], 'positive_sign': '',
'negative_sign': '-', 'int_frac_digits': 2, 'frac_digits': 2, 'p_cs_precedes':
1, 'p_sep_by_space': 0, 'n_cs_precedes': 1, 'n_sep_by_space': 0, 'p_sign_posn':
1, 'n_sign_posn': 1, 'decimal_point': '.', 'thousands_sep': ',', 'grouping':
[3, 3, 0]}
Here is the Windows version:
{'int_curr_symbol': 'USD', 'currency_symbol': '$', 'mon_decimal_point':
'.', 'mon_thousands_sep': ',', 'mon_grouping': [3, 0], 'positive_sign': '',
'negative_sign': '-', 'int_frac_digits': 2, 'frac_digits': 2, 'p_cs_precedes':
1, 'p_sep_by_space': 0, 'n_cs_precedes': 1, 'n_sep_by_space': 0, 'p_sign_posn':
3, 'n_sign_posn': 0, 'decimal_point': '.', 'thousands_sep': ',', 'grouping':
[3, 0]}
The correct value (0) means that negative numbers get wrapped in ( ).
The ubuntu value of 1 means that a minus sign precedes the value.
