Convert an amount to Indian Notation in Python

Question

Problem: I need to convert an amount to Indian currency format

My code: I have the following Python implementation:

Answer 1

def format_indian(t):
dic = {
    4:'Thousand',
    5:'Lakh',
    6:'Lakh',
    7:'Crore',
    8:'Crore',
    9:'Arab'
}
y = 10
len_of_number = len(str(t))
save = t
z=y
while(t!=0):
   t=int(t/y)
   z*=10

zeros = len(str(z)) - 3
if zeros>3:
    if zeros%2!=0:
        string = str(save)+": "+str(save/(z/100))[0:4]+" "+dic[zeros]
    else:   
        string = str(save)+": "+str(save/(z/1000))[0:4]+" "+dic[zeros]
    return string
return str(save)+": "+str(save)

This code will Convert Yout Numbers to Lakhs, Crores and arabs in most simplest way. Hope it helps.

for i in [1.234567899 * 10**x for x in range(9)]:
print(format_indian(int(i)))

Output:

1: 1
12: 12
123: 123
1234: 1234
12345: 12.3 Thousand
123456: 1.23 Lakh
1234567: 12.3 Lakh
12345678: 1.23 Crore
123456789: 12.3 Crore
