[Python-ideas] Rough draft: Proposed format specifier for a thousands separator (discussion moved from python-dev)

[Raymond Hettinger]

Today's updates to http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0378/ 

* Specify what width means when thousands separators are present.
* Clarify that the locale module is not being proposed to change.
* Add research on what is done in C-Sharp, MS-Excel, COBOL, and CommonLisp.
* Add more examples.
