6783	DecimalField python locale issue	Dirk Datzert <dummy@…>	nobody	"I ran into an python locale issue with the DecimalField. During INSERTs and UPDATEs invalid sql-statements are generated since a comma-seperator ',' is used for formating DecimalField instead of the expected dot-seperator '.'

decimal-python.py (for simple testing):
from django.db.models.fields import DecimalField
from locale import setlocale, LC_NUMERIC
d = DecimalField(max_digits=6, decimal_places=3)
setlocale(LC_NUMERIC,'de_DE')
print d.format_number(3.456)
setlocale(LC_NUMERIC,'en_US')
print d.format_number(3.456)
