[Pythonmac-SIG] Python 2.4 test_locale fails?

[Jim Correia]

(New to the list, couldn't find the answer in the archives...)

I'm just getting around to building and installing Python 2.4 on
10.3.8. After building and running the tests, test_locale fails. (If I
tweak the test to not abort after the first failure I see that it
fails for the decimal_point and thousands_sep for most locales.)

Is the test faulty? Is here a bug in Python 2.4? In the 10.3.8 locale support?

The output from the test is below.

Thanks,
Jim
