i got a bad rendering in template when using locale.format

[aliane abdelouahab]

hi
i just discovered the [locale][1] module in Python, and i've tried to
use it with Tornado Template but i get a bizarre bizarre rendering, so
1000 will become 1�000, so i cant get the good separator, i tried
both: the comma (system default) and the space (french)
here is the code:

import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "french_France")

and in the template:

{% import locale %}
<span class="prix">The price: {{locale.format("%d", price,
grouping=True)}} DA</span>

any ideas?
NB: changed the font and always the same bizarre � that is showing.

NB: it seems that i dont render here the value, it's an interrogation
mark in a diamond shape.

update2: there is '{:,}'.format(price) but this only uses a comma as a
separator.

update:
using babel.numbers worked good.
i've found this

You can also use PyICU. It's not documented and they point you to the
C++ API documentation, but it's good enough since the Python API looks
a lot like the C++ API.

will be faster than Babel? because i need only the currency formatting
option, and it worked good using Babel.

I don't know if it's faster. I use it because it works on Python 3.

finally i think i'll stick with Babel, because PyICU need visual
studio to compile on windows, and am trying to test the application on
windows (i've a laptop that uses optimus and it's not good with linux)
thank you again :)
