Re: [Python-ideas] Format mini-language for lakh and crore

I actually didn't know about `locale.format("%d", 10e9, grouping=True)`. But it's still much less general than having the option in the f-string/.format() mini-language. This is really about the formatted string, not necessarily about the locale. So, e.g. I'd like to be able to write: >>>

Re: [Python-ideas] Format mini-language for lakh and crore

It’s my opinion that instead of adding syntax, we should instead encourage using number formatting library functions. * You can replace the function or have the function dispatch differently depending on locale * It means that syntax doesn’t need to be extended for every use case – its
