Thank you, but let me rephrase it. I'm already using str.format() but I'd like
to use '%' (BINARY_MODULO) operator instead.
I've looked into the source code of CPython 2.7.5 and I've found no evidence of
the thousands separator been implemented on formatint() in
"Objects/unicodeobject.c".
I also didn't find the _PyString_FormatLong() used in formatlong(). Where is
_PyString_FormatLong() located?
So, the question is: Where would I change the CPython 2.7.5 source code to
enable '%' (BINARY_MODULO) to format using the thousands separator like
str.format() does, such as:
>>>sys.stderr.write('%,d\n' % 1234567)
1,234,567
