This could be written much more efficiently. It can be done with only these 
lists~
ones = 
['zero','one','two','three','four','five','six','seven','eight','nine']
teens = 
['ten','eleven','twelve','thirteen','fourteen','fifteen','sixteen','seventeen','eighteen','nineteen']
tens = 
['','','twenty','thirty','fourty','fifty','sixty','seventy','eighty','ninety']
hundstr = 'hundred'
thousand = 'thousand'

Exercise for reader to make it work ;-) Unless of course you genuinely want 
to see my code...
Current range 0 - 999,999    Easily extendable to millions, trillions, 
billions, etc.
