Re: [Python-ideas] Rough draft: Proposed format specifier for a thousands separator (discussion moved from python-dev)

Thanks for the informative comment. It looks like your needs are best met by Proposal II where those would be written as:

en_num = format(x, "12T, 2f") fr_num = format(x, "12T.,2f") or_num = format(x, "12T ,2f")

That is way unreadable to me, especially the difference between en_num and or_num. Also, I wonder if en_num = format(x, "12T,.2f") isn't more explicit.
