How to write correctly ordered ( 23,45,212 ) comma separated numbers in python ? not the thousand separator

number = int(input())
# input: 2345212
print(f"{number:,}") # using inbuilt python's separator

# output:  
# Giving this : 2,345,212
# desired output: 23,45,212

I wish to generate correctly formatted numbers as output. But, I am not able to figure it out. As in desired output ( 23,45,212 ) from the last, it has a comma after 3 places thereafter a comma is placed on passing 2 digits. In India, it’s the standard form to place commas to digits.

Looking for the shortest trick.

[ Already tried locale. I want to print without currency( not this: ₹23,45,212.00 ) ]

>Solution :

You can do something like this using the built-in locale library:

import locale
number = int(input())

locale.setlocale(locale.LC_MONETARY, 'en_IN')
print(locale.currency(number, grouping=True))

Or without the currency symbol:

import locale
number = int(input())

locale.setlocale(locale.LC_MONETARY, 'en_IN')
print(locale.currency(number, grouping=True)[1:])
