4     - Python <= 2.4 calls C extension modules with the set locale.
5       This means those modules need to be robust against a locale
6       where LC_NUMERIC is set in a way that the decimal_point might
7       be a comma or something else. Problems are diagnosed
8       at least with shapelib, proj and gdal. To cope with it we:
9    
10       + Added a new option --setdecimalcommalocale to runtests.py so that
11       all tests can be checked with a comma as  decimal_point, if we
12       can find such an LC_NUMERIC. We only try a few in test/localessupport.py.
13    
14       + Fixed behaviour with proj by switching to LC_NUMERIC "C" before
15       initialising the projection and afterward switch back.
16    
17       + Added a workaround to internal shapelib and pyshapelib.
18

20     not be determined. In this case, try to set the LANGUAGE variable to     not be determined. In this case, try to set the LANGUAGE variable to
21     one value and use no colon.     one value and use no colon.
