- Patch #1400181, fix unicode string formatting to not use the locale.
This is how string objects work. u'%f' could use , instead of . for the decimal point. Now both strings and unicode always use periods. This is the code that would break: import locale locale.setlocale(locale.LC_NUMERIC, 'de_DE') u'%.1f' % 1.0 assert '1.0' == u'%.1f' % 1.0 I couldn't create a test case which fails, but this fixes the problem. Will backport.
