the re module is disallowed in the 'restricted' python set that zope uses. Use an external method for that. As to why there have been numerous threads in the list about that. hth AM Michael LaPera wrote:

Hello,

I thought this would be easy, but I can seem to figure out how to format a number with commas (US currency). I tried python re module, but it kept giving me a login screen (I guess you can't use the re module in Zope?).

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

In a Script: from Products.PythonScripts.standard import thousands_commas s = thousands_commas(123456.78) In a ZPT: <div tal:define="pss modules/Products/PythonScripts/standard" tal:replace="python:pss.thousands_commas(123456.78)"> 123,456.78 </div> Cheers, Evan @ 4-am
