Bear in mind that the use of commas is very much a 
local thing. In some parts of the world periods are used 
and a comma indicates a decimal point so

123,456

could be 123 thousand 456 or 123 point 456 depending 
on where the reader is from.

If that is important you might need to investigate a locale specific 
way of defining the seperator. I know Windows has hooks to get 
it from the local settings but I'm not sure about *nix and I don't 
know if Python has a generic way.

This might not matter to you in practice , but I thought I'd 
mention it just in case...
