It would be nice if the PEP included a comparison between the proposed scheme and how it is done in other programs and languages. For example, I think Common Lisp has a feature for formatting thousands. Spreadsheets like Excel probably have something similar. Those programs are pretty well evolved and probably address the important real use cases by now. It might be best to follow an existing example (with adjustments for Pythonification as necessary) to the extent possible. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
