I have an amount that I want to format as 4500 -> $4,500.00.

Is there a routine to do this in web2py?  I tried import locale in the
controller and then use {{=locale.format('$%.2f', amount,True)}} in my
layout, but I get locale is not defined.....

well, never mind. I just got this to work:

{{import locale}}
{{locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL,('en','ascii'))}}
{{='$' + locale.format('%.2f',total,True)}}

is there a better way to do this in a file.html file?

thx,
