[pypy-issue] [issue1209] unicode format does not work with a unicode thousands separator

[Ariel Ben-Yehuda]

New submission from Ariel Ben-Yehuda <arielb1 at mail.tau.ac.il>:

pypy 1.9 has the same bug as CPython issue 15276
(http://bugs.python.org/issue15276) - but in pypy3k formats default to unicode
so the issue is a little more visible.

Patch Attached
Note that the patch fixes an issue in a test written in #1208 (we need to change
LC_CTYPE because we cannot be sure it is the same encoding LC_NUMERIC uses - I
set LC_ALL).
