I was wondering how sri dug out this information. It turned to be fairly simple. Did a search in python site for "number formatting", it took me to the tutorial. Brief tour of Standard Library II and there it was.
Thinking further it should have occurred that ofcourse python should have something for this already and in general it would have something to do with locale. Thanks sri Regards Srini.
