Description Stewart Adam 2008-04-16 04:21:06 UTC 
The thousands separator is not used when displaying numbers in gtk.SpinButtons, and input using a comma is truncated (ie 2,569 becomes 2). It would be great numbers were displayed using the thousands separator defined in the current locale and the same for user input.

I spoke to some people on #pygtk about this, it may have to do with the fact that the C library does not respect it either.

I'd second this request, and I'm coming from the C library level.  I have some spin buttons that range up to 40,000,000.  Telling 4000000 from 40000000 is pretty hard at a glance.
