Oh yes l10n for currencies. Whats currently in KLocale is very rudimentary and 
I use it it a crude way that will probably break on some locales:

        self.amount_validator = KDoubleValidator(self.amount.nativeWidget())
        if KGlobal.locale().decimalSymbol() == ",":
            self.amount_validator.setAcceptLocalizedNumbers(True)

and:

          if KGlobal.locale().decimalSymbol() == ",":
              # remove any "."s and replace "," with "."
              # there ought to bet a prettier way to do this
              if amount.contains(","):
                  amount = amount.replace(".", "").replace(",", ".")

I'm not very proud of this code...
