Hi,

I use the following statements in nearly all python main programs
after the import of all other modules:
--------------------

import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')       # Use preferred locale for
sorting etc.
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_NUMERIC, 'C')  # Use default C locale for
numbers

--------------------
Regards Ulli
