Merged revisions 63078 via svnmerge from svn+ssh://pythondev@svn.python.org/python/trunk When forward porting this, I added _PyUnicode_InsertThousandsGrouping. ........ r63078 | eric.smith | 2008-05-11 15:52:48 -0400 (Sun, 11 May 2008) | 14 lines Addresses issue 2802: 'n' formatting for integers. Adds 'n' as a format specifier for integers, to mirror the same specifier which is already available for floats. 'n' is the same as 'd', but inserts the current locale-specific thousands grouping. I added this as a stringlib function, but it's only used by str type, not unicode. This is because of an implementation detail in unicode.format(), which does its own str->unicode conversion. But the unicode version will be needed in 3.0, and it may be needed by other code eventually in 2.6 (maybe decimal?), so I left it as a stringlib implementation. As long as the unicode version isn't instantiated, there's no overhead for this. ........
