You can download the _rl_accel dll from

http://www.reportlab.org/downloads.html

place the appropriate dll (2.1/2.2/2.3/2.4 only) in site-packages if 2.3 or 
greater or in DLLs if 2.1/2.2.

The function _fp_str is used to format floating point numbers and it should fix 
this problem. If it does it means I need to fix the python version.

As to the other problem I believe that 2.4 allows for a non locale dependent 
float behaviour.
