Python Add Comma Into Number String

Question

Using Python v2, I have a value running through my program that puts out a number rounded to 2 decimal places at the end:

like this:

print (\"Total          


        

Answer 1

You could use locale.currency if TotalAmount represents money. It works on Python <2.7 too:

>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
'en_US.utf8'
>>> locale.currency(123456.789, symbol=False, grouping=True)
'123,456.79'

Note: it doesn't work with the C locale so you should set some other locale before calling it.
