Thank you, quick tidy explanation, I like these 60sec tutorials

Thank you, you save me. To be honest I was doing a project and the only thing I was not able to accomplish was formatting currency. I immediately learn how to do it when I first saw your example code.
Thank you again.

Great explanation. However, what if I wanted to use periods as thousands separator and commas as decimal ?

Did you test your program? It didn't work for me (I'm using Python 3).

Thank you, this helped me. Was struggling before with this and I kept getting errors.

Very clear on how to add a $ that is left justified (e.g., $ 2.30, $ 234, 590.09). However, most clean displays of currency places the $ sign just to the left of the left most digit (e.g., $2.30, $234, 590.09). Python has no way to place the dollar sign in the clean looking location of a dollar amount.
