I think so, and maybe before that.  Not in 2.3 final, but maybe in 2.3.1 --
numeric locale problems can be catastrophic to Python programmers, so I'm
comfortable arguing the case for calling it a bugfix.  Whether it happens
depends on who's willing and able to do the work, of course.  There's a
patch pending on a Python tracker to do it, but that uses a pile of code
borrowed from glibc, and that's got problems of its own.
