Since this is a presentation issue, rather than a data collection issue,
it is something you would probably do directly in the template.
There are a set of filters you can use in your template to do things
like this. They are in the "humanize" template tag package:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/add_ons/#humanize
In you case, the intcomma filter does what you want, so
{{ object.Salary|intcomma }} or something similar.

Malcolm
