Easy way to print numbers with thousand separators?

[John Villalovos]

Thanks!

But now when using a Red Hat 6.2 system when I type: import locale
I get the following:

Python 1.5.2 (#1, Feb  1 2000, 16:32:16)  [GCC egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux\
 (egcs- on linux-i386

>>> import locale
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python1.5/locale.py", line 4, in ?
    from _locale import *
ImportError: No module named _locale
>>>

I can see the locale.py, locale.pyc, & locale.pyo files in /usr/lib/python1.5/

Is there a configuration file option that will make it work?

Thanks,
John
