problem with locale

[marcin andrzejewski]

everything works fine in IDLE, but when running as script, i 've got
following error:

import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
a= locale.format ('%.2f',-100000.236,1)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "locale.py", line 1, in ?
    import locale
  File "locale.py", line 2, in ?
    locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'setlocale'
>Exit code: 1

what's wrong ?
