[BangPypers] HELP ON FORMATING OUTPUT

[Nanolets nanolets]

I was wondering how sri dug out this information.

It turned to be fairly simple. Did a search in python site for
"number formatting", it took me to the tutorial. Brief tour of Standard
Library II
and there it was.

Thinking further  it should have occurred that ofcourse python should have
something for this already and in general it would have something to do with
locale.

Thanks sri

Regards
Srini.
