Hi,
Can I use locale to format monetary values? If yes, how? If no, is there
something I can use?
E.g.,
I have 10000 and I want to get "$10,000".
Thanks,
Ray

try something like: import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "en-US")
'English_United States.1252' locale.format("%f", 10000, True)
'10,000.000000' locale.format("$%.2f", 10000, True)
'$10,000.00'
bye.

That's it. Thanks a lot!
There is no example on the locale.format in the docs so I was confused.
Regards,
Ray
