[Python-Dev] floating point literals don't work in non-US locale in 2.5

[Fredrik Lundh]

someone recently broke floating point literals in a rather spectacular
way:

$ export LANG=sv_SE.utf8
$ ./python
Python 2.5a0 (41806M, Dec 25 2005, 12:12:29)
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 3.14
3.1400000000000001
>>> import locale
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "")
'sv_SE.utf8'
>>> 3.14
3.0
