Please define how numbers come to be part of the same group. Also, what have you tried, and how is it different from the expected output? — inspectorG4dget, Nov 08 '14 at 22:18

@Xorg: I wrote an answer concerning the formatting but what do you mean with "count". Where is this data that you have to count? — Matthias, Nov 10 '14 at 10:46
@Matthias: What i was looking for was counting numbers not like "1,2,3" but "01,02,03,etc"..your answer solved my question..i am trying to map string indices to these numbers. For example "001" mean "string[0]+string[0]+string[1]" — repzero, Nov 11 '14 at 00:37

Have a look at the strings format method and the Format String Syntax.

for i in range(1, 4):
    print('{0:0>3}'.format(i))

assuming your digits are initially in string format:

x = "001, 002, 003, 004, 005"
y = x.split(", ")
total = 0 # total sum of all the numbers
count = 0 # number of values
for i in y:
    total += int(i)
    count += 1

print("Total = %d\nCount = %d" % (total, count))
