[Zope] dollars-and-cents display fails

[Greg Fischer]

Darn!  That didnt fix it.  I just setup python 2.3.4, setup Zope 2.7.6
again, along with mysql-python 1.2.0 and ZMySQLDA-2.0.9b3, and
fmt="dollars-and-cents" will not display the data.  Also, I tried just
using the c-style formatting: fmt="$%.2f" and I have a different
issue, I get a Type Error - float argument required.  So how do I fix
this decimal or string issue?  Is there something on MySQL needing
setup differently? (which is 5.0.4beta)  Seems more like Python or
Zope issue.

Any ideas to get me in the right direction?

Thanks!
