python3 issue with locale.str does not work on float?












0















I experiencing some issues with locale.str(). It does not generate a valid string of a number for my locale setting:



% python3

Python 3.6.6 (default, Sep 12 2018, 18:26:19) 

[GCC 8.0.1 20180414 (experimental) [trunk revision 259383]] on linux

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> import locale

>>> locale.getlocale()

('de_DE', 'UTF-8')

>>> locale.str(.2)

'0.2'


Following the documentaion:



locale.str(float)



Formats a floating point number using the same format as the built-in function str(float), but takes the decimal point into account. docs



What I would expect as German format is '0,2'.



Where is my mistake?
