I just know I've seen mention before of a library function that
properly formats money as a string, but I can't seem to find it
anywhere.  I want to receive a NUMERIC(15,2) data from a SQL database
(eg, 3275.68) and have it displayed as $3,275.68.  (dollar sign,
commas, and decimal)  I've searched the Vaults of Parnassus, the
'locale' module, and comp.lang.python, but didn't find anything except
a few partial examples of how to implement it myself.

TIA,
-D
