Quick help needed: how to format an integer ?

[Satchidanand Haridas]

One possible solution. Don't know how efficient it is though. :-)

 >>> def put_decimal(s):
...     return ''.join( [ [s[i], '.%s' % s[i]][(len(s)-i)%3 == 0] for i 
in range(0, len(s))])
...
 >>> put_decimal("10001234")
'10.001.234'
 >>> put_decimal("12622")
'12.622'

thanks,
Satchit
