[issue33731] string formatting that produces floats with preset precision while respecting locale

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettinger at gmail.com> added the comment:

I would like to see locale() remain somewhat decoupled from the rest of string formatting.  IIRC locale() is finicky especially when concurrency is involved.  I think a best practice is for an app to address locale issues explicitly rather than inside string formatting.  I'll defer to those with more experience using locale -- I just have a vague recollection of this being an area fraught with landmines.
