Missing from this PEP: output below the decimal point. show results for something like: format(12345.54321, "15,.5f") --> ' 12,345.543,21' Explain the interaction on sizes and lengths (which numbers are digits, which are length [I vote for length on overall, digits on precision]), and what happens with length-4 -- I'd say explicitly 1000 is show as "1,000" despite style sheets that prefer "1000" and "10,000". FWIW, I agree with pruebano, do the simplest easily usable thing, and provide a way to swap the commas and periods. The rest can be ponied in by string processing. --Scott David Daniels scott.dani...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
