I am not sure of your goal, but if you need this for localization purposes,
look at Babel (http://babel.edgewall.org/). In particular

def sep(n):
if n<0: return '-' + sep(-n)
if n<1000: return str(n)
return '%s,%03d' % (sep(n//1000), n%1000)

I'm trying to find some code that will turn:
100 -> 100
1000 -> 1,000
100 -> 1,000,000
-1000 -> -1,000
I know that can be done using a regular expression. In Perl I would do
something like:
sub thousand {
$number = reverse $_[0];
$number =~ s/(\d\d\d)(?=\d)(?!d*\.)/$1,/g;
