I'm am relatively new to Python but use it daily. Today, I went looking
for a function, like PHP's number_function, that will take a number and
return a string with number formatted with grouped thousands and the
decimal portion rounded to a given number of places. This is certainly
needed wh
Thanks. I noticed the bugs later. But after talking with my boss, he
suggested something more elegant (again *untested*, yet):
import locale
def number_format(num, places=0)
"""Format a number according to locality and given places"""
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, locale.getdefaultloc
