Well, I did investigate all tutorial and google and I wasn't able to find 
any built-in way for datetime formatting in Python. In fact I cannot find 
any way to format a long integer into 99,999,9999 format. I know how to 
format strings with C printf like formatter, but I am sure what I am trying 
to do can't be done with C printf formatting.



I also found that mx.DateTime perfectly does date formatting and much more, 
but I don't want to add another step to the deployment process.

The answer to this post could be just a function name. I don't think I asked 
about broad concepts such as the object or strings. What I am asking here is 
just a clue.
