Format numbers in Python

Hi,

I'd like to know if there is a way to format long numbers (integers) the following way.

For example if I have the number 1166832000

can I display it like this: 11 66 832 000

or 11,66,832,000

Thanks

If you are looking for thousand separators you could use this syntax. It will be commas though, not spaces.

num = 132489893342325

print("{0:,}".format(num))

# OUTPUT 
132,489,893,342,325

Since that would be a string output he could then use str.replace(",", " ") to achieve spaces.
