[python-sybase] GTK & Sybase

[Marcos Sánchez Provencio]

Probably related to this:

This is one of the new things in Python 2.4. Now there is a
locale-independent (C locale) way of treating numbers. I bet the module
has to be adapted to this change to take advantage of this fact (and
letting users choose their own locale without breaking apps).
