Is there a way to format integers with thousands separator (digit grouping)=
 like the format specifier of str.format()?=0A=
=0A=
I'm currently using the following:=0A=
=0A=
>>> sys.stdout.write('Number =3D %s\n' % '{:=2C.0f}'.format(x))=0A=
Number =3D 12=2C345=0A=
=0A=
'x' is unsigned integer so it's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!=
=0A=
=0A=
I'd like to have something like:=0A=
=0A=
sys.stdout.write('Number =3D %=2Cu\n' % x)=0A=
=0A=
=0A=
Is that possible? How can I do it if not already available? 		 	   		  =
