See the 'locale' module, functions 'format' and (internal) _group.
If you can call locale.setlocale() to one which requires these
separators, it should take care of the rest on calls to .format().

>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "da_DK")
'da_DK'
>>> locale.format("%.2f", 42000000.0, 1)
'42.000.000,00'
