Offhand I didn't think so, but I'm no locale expert.  In locales that swap
the God-given <wink> meanings of "." and ",", what I've always seen is
bizarre tracebacks raising SyntaxError due to "invalid literals".

In what locale would a period be interpreted as "multiply the integer to the
left of the period by 10"?

Now a period means "multiply the integer to the *right* of the period by
100"?!  You're making this up as you go along <wink>.
