Neal Norwitz fc76d633e8 - Patch #1400181, fix unicode string formatting to not use the locale.
This is how string objects work.  u'%f' could use , instead of .
  for the decimal point.  Now both strings and unicode always use periods.

This is the code that would break:

import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_NUMERIC, 'de_DE')
u'%.1f' % 1.0
assert '1.0' == u'%.1f' % 1.0

I couldn't create a test case which fails, but this fixes the problem.

Will backport.
