Hi..
I want to do this:
for examle:
12332321 ==> 12.332.321

How can i do?

Assuming that the dots are always in the 3rd and 7th position in the string:

def conv(s, sep="."):
l = [s[0:3], s[3:6], s[6:]]
return sep.join(l)

print conv("12332321")

But it's starts from the end..
print conv("12332321")
123.323.21
This is wrong it would be 12.332.321


If you're doing this for thousands separators, look at the locale module:
import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'US') #the default C locale
doesn't do grouping
'English_United States.1252'
locale.format_string('%d', 10000, grouping=True)
'10,000'
locale.format_string('%d', 12332321, grouping=True)
'12,332,321'


I only have the US locale available on this machine, but if you use a
locale that uses "." as the thousands separator, this should work for
you.
