Hi,
if you realy can't use multiple lines (which is rather essencial for
python), you can circumvent this in some cases, e.g. using list
comprehension and ignoring the created list itself:
import locale; locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "");
[print(locale.format("%2f", i, 1)) for i in range(1,20,4)]
