[issue33731] string formatting that produces floats with preset precision while respecting locale

[Eric V. Smith]

Eric V. Smith <eric at trueblade.com> added the comment:

You can always use the locale module, although of course that's not as convenient:

>>> locale.format('%.2f', 1.891)
'1.89'

I'm open to suggests on backward compatible ways to implement this for python 3.8. It would probably involve a new letter, and need to be implemented for at least int, float, decimal, and complex.
