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

You'll have to use the 'n' locale-aware number format instead, and set your locale to one that uses a space as a thousands separator. Yes, this is painful.

'n' - Number. This is the same as 'd', except that it uses the current locale setting to insert the appropriate number separator characters.
