Number Format

[Michael]

How can I set thousand dots to a simple number e.g. (2000 --> 2.000)
Doesn't matter wheter in Python Script or Zope. 

I need this to convert the output in Zope. I yet realized the output
2,000 with
<dtml-var VariableName thousands_commas>. This way i can't use the
function "replace" because the attribute "thousands_commas" works
later on.

But I can't get the format 2.000. Has anyone an idea ?

thanks Michael
