I can duplicate this on Linux. The difference is the values in the locale for the separators, specifically, locale.localeconv()['thousands_sep']. >>> locale.localeconv()['thousands_sep'] '\xc2\xa0' The question is: since a struct lconv contains char*s, how to interpret them? The code in decimal interprets them as ascii, apparently. floats do the same thing, so this isn't strictly a decimal problem. I'll have to give it some thought.
