How do you format a number to print with commas?
Some quick searching, i came up with:
import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, )
locale.format('%d', 2348721, True)
'2,348,721'
I'm a perpetual novice, so just looking for better, slicker, more
proper, pythonic ways to do this.
Thanks!

This sets the locale according to the environment (typically LANG---I'm
talking about linux, don't know others).
locale.format('%d', 2348721, True)

The latter requires Python 3.1+ and is courtesy

I would readily admit that both the locale module and format method
are preferable to this regular expression, which certainly violates the
readability counts dictum:
r(?=\d)(?=(\d\d\d)+$)

Argh. The 2.7 docs say it was added in 2.7, but the 3.3a0 docs say it
was added in 3.1 (Guido's backporting time machine messes with
causality).
Python 2 docs refer to Python 2.
Python 3 docs refer to Python 3.
So 'it' was in neither 2.6 nor 3.1.
