[Tutor] String Formatting

[Isr Gish]

Thanks orbitz,

But...

   >oldloc = locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL)
   >locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'en_US')
   >locale.format('%d', some_num, True)
   >locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, oldloc)
   >

I would rather not use this way, iit takes about 25 times longer then a regular % format. And I'm using it for about 1,000,000 times.
