The locale
module, as shown in Example 8-1, provides an interface to C’s localization functions. It
also provides functions to convert between numbers and strings based
on the current locale. (Functions like int
and
float
, as well as the numeric conversion
functions in string
, are not affected by the
current locale.)
Example 8-1. Using the locale Module for Data Formatting
File: locale-example-1.py import locale print "locale", "=>", locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "") # integer formatting value = 4711 print locale.format("%d", value, 1), "==", print locale.atoi(locale.format("%d", value, 1)) # floating point value = 47.11 print locale.format("%f", value, 1), "==", print locale.atof(locale.format("%f", value, 1)) info = locale.localeconv() print info["int_curr_symbol"]locale => Swedish_Sweden.1252
4,711 == 4711
47,110000 == 47.11

Example 8-2 shows how you can use the locale
module to get the platform locale.
