Quick help needed: how to format an integer ?

[durumdara]

Hi !

I need to convert some integer values.

"1622" ->"1 622"

or

"10001234" -> ""10.001.234""

So I need thousand separators.

Can anyone helps me with a simply solution (like %xxx) ?

Thanx for it: dd

Ps:
Now I use this proc:

def toths(i):
s=str(i)
l=[]
ls=len(s)
for i in range(ls):
c=s[ls-i-1]
if i%3==0 and i<>0:
c=c+"."
l.append(c)
l.reverse()
return "".join(l)

The module locale does what you need, look at ist docs, especially


locale.str
locale.format

I think you're supposed to do a locale-specific conversion (I've never
understood that stuff). You could also do something like this:
if n < 0: return '-' + f(-n)
if n < 1000: return '%d' % n
return f(n//1000) + '.' + '%03d' % (n%1000)
'12.345'
