I'll leave that to Andrew, I have no understanding of setup.py.
(Unfortunately Andrew seems out of town. :-( )

Can you find out what at this point the value of
localeconv()['grouping'] is? The only way this can happen, I think,
is for that to be a false value -- then _group() returns a single
string value instead of a tuple. This seems to be a bug in _group()
-- the only place that uses it (format()) always assumes it returns a
tuple of two elements.
I'm not sure what the intention was...
Martin, can you suggest a way out here?
