I can confirm this. It is caused by test__locale that is
executed before test_format (and also, test_unicode fails
likewise). See:

Not only test_format but also test_unicode fail on my
Mandrake 10 box.
My default locale is nl_NL. Behold:

[irmen@atlantis Python-2.4a1]$ cat testcases.in
test__locale
test_format
test_unicode

I can confirm it's still failing in current CVS. It looks
like test__locale.py is not restoring the locale when it
it's finished. I've submitted patch bpo-1007539.

Fixed in rev 1.5 of test__locale__.
