Formatting numbers

[Bjorn Pettersen]

Not sure what you're asking here... but the straightforward approach would
be something like:

   >>> str(12345/100.0)
   '123.45'

If what you want is locale formatted numers you would do:

   >>> import locale
   >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL,'')
   >>> locale.format('%.2f', 12345.67, 3)
   '12,345.67'
