python locale currency to 0 decimals

Question

I can't figure out how to set my currency to 0 decimals. for now it always puts .00 behind my currency.

locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'en_US.UTF-8')
damn = locale.currency(self.damn, grouping=True).replace('$','') + " Dmn"

self.damn is always an integer.

Answer 1

It seems like you are just interested in grouping. You don't need to use the currency function for this. Use locale.format():

import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'en_US.UTF-8')
damn = '{0} Dmn'.format(locale.format('%d', self.damn, True))

And if you don't depend on the locale stuff, you can group the number with string.format(), too:

# Comma as separator
damn = '{:,} Dmn'.format(self.damn)
# Locale aware separator
damn = '{:n} Dmn'.format(self.damn)

Answer 2

The output is a string so add [:-3] to the end it:

a = locale.currency(num, grouping=True)[:-3]
