How to prevent Django from localizing IDs in templates?

Question

I have recently upgraded to Django 1.2.5, and now I am having problems with localization, specifically number formatting. For example, in some templates I print the following samples:

data-id="{{ form.instance.id }}"

Which in cases >= 1000, used to evaluate to:

data-id="1235"

But now it actually results in (my localization is pt-BR, our decimal separator is dot):

data-id="1.235"

Which of course is not found when I afterwards query the database by ID. Using a |safe filter solves the problem, but I'm not willing to find all IDs in all templates and safe them.

Usually, I'll only localize the floating points, not the integers. I don't want to disable L10N, because of all the other formatting that is working fine. Is there a way to make this distinction in Django localization? Any other solution is accepted.

Answer 1

data-id="{{ form.instance.id|safe }}"

Also do the job

Answer 2

with django 1.2:

data-id="{{ form.instance.id|stringformat:'d' }}"

or, with django 1.3:

{% load l10n %}

{% localize off %}
    data-id="{{ form.instance.id|stringformat:'d' }}"
{% endlocalize %}

or (also with django 1.3):

data-id="{{ form.instance.id|unlocalize }}"
