I am relatively new to Python. Love it, but I find things that I can do easily in .NET and cannot find a way to do in Python. I need to format a number as currency, for example 12343.56 to $12,343.56.
In C# all I need to do is decimal x = 12343.56 then x.ToString("$###,###.00"); I cannot find a way to do this in Python. I must be missing something very simple here. I have tried the locale module but it will not put in the commas. I hope I do not have to write my own formatting routine...surely one is out there and I just can't find it. Running on XP Pro. Python 2.4.3. Thanks much in advance, Richard -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
