When formatting a floating-point number, simply include a comma between the width and the precision:: - >>> '{:20,.2}'.format(f) + >>> '{:20,.2f}'.format(18446744073709551616.0) '18,446,744,073,709,551,616.00' -..

' 1.8e+19' - This mechanism is not adaptable at all; commas are always used as the separator and the grouping is always into three-digit groups. The comma-formatting mechanism isn't as general as the :mod:`locale` |
