python format string thousand separator with spaces

Question

For printing number with thousand separator, one can use the python format string :

\'{:,}\'.format(1234567890)

But how can I specify that

Answer 1

This will set the locale environment to your default OS location:

import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')

Then you can use:

"{0:n}".format(1234567890)
