Hi, Bernard.
Just tried the first 2 commands on win XP, Python 2.5 under Idle.
An Error is raised: "unsupported locale setting" (lib/locale.py in
setlocale, line 476).
Actually I get the error also under Python 2.4.3
Any idea what I'm missing?
Thanks in advance.

I am relatively new to Python. Love it, but I find things that I can do
easily in .NET and cannot find a way to do in Python. I need to format a
number as currency, for example 12343.56 to $12,343.56.
In C# all I need to do is decimal x = 12343.56 then x.ToString("$###,###.00");
I cannot find
