Jens Diemer:

Test code:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
import locale

locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')

val=1234567890.1234
print(val)
print(locale.format('%d', val, 1))

Works in CPython 2.7 and 3.4 and with PyPy2 2.3.1 but not with PyPy3 2.3.1:
