I'm trying to figure out the best/easiest method to format number into currency in python. If the number is negative I want the minus sign to be before the dollar sign (ex. -$123,323). Otherwise the number should appear in this form (ex $123,323,323). Is there a built in python method to do this?

    Have a read through the [Format Specification Mini-Language](https://docs.python.org/2/library/string.html#format-specification-mini-language). – MattDMo Nov 06 '14 at 03:56

  • The suggested duplicate doesn't address the aspect of replacing the parenthesis with minus sign – user3885927 Nov 06 '14 at 04:38
