Comment(by erikos):

 I did the following to reproduce the issue.

 [erikos at pennylane ~]$ python
 Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Jun  4 2010, 18:20:16)
 [GCC 4.4.4 20100503 (Red Hat 4.4.4-2)] on linux2
 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import locale
 >>>
 >>> locale.getdefaultlocale()
 ('de_DE', 'UTF8')
 >>> locale.localeconv()['decimal_point']
 '.'
 >>> import os
 >>> os.environ['LANG']
 'de_DE.utf8'
 >>> lang = os.environ['LANG']
 >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_NUMERIC, lang)
 'de_DE.utf8'
 >>> locale.localeconv()['decimal_point']
 ','
 >>> locale.getdefaultlocale()
 ('de_DE', 'UTF8')

 I think we should find out what happens. Then we can come up with the
 right patch. We do not have to rush here.
