         One way:

         <p tal:define="ps python:modules[''Products.PythonScripts.standard''];
                        varA python:12345;
                        varB python:''%0.2f'' % ( varA );
                        varC python:ps.thousands_commas( varB )"
            tal:content="string:$$$varC">
             Will print $12,345.00
         </p>
