I am simply trying to execute the following command in Python: 

print("Number is", format(49000.12345,"10.2f"))

So I would like it to print out like 49,000.12 for the number.

My teacher taught us to put a comma in "10.2f" like ",10.2f" for the thousands separator but it's not working. Could someone please tell me the correct simple way similar to that?

Thank you

  • @Cilyan What I don't get is, if I do ",.2f" it would work but when I do ",10.2f" it doesn't. Please could someone just show me an example at least? – user3301642 Feb 12 '14 at 13:23

    According to the fomat specification mini-language page, the syntax is `format_spec ::= [[fill]align][sign][#][0][width][,][.precision][type]`. As you see the comma is expected right before the point. Try `"10,.2f"`. – Cilyan Feb 12 '14 at 15:37

See this: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0378/ It is the PEP introducing the ability into Python 2.7, 3.1 and later versions.
