locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
def f5(n):
    return format('n', n)

Works in 2.6 (',' needs 2.7).

Sorry, but I don't see any reference to the 'n' format in the post, its update, or any of the other comments.

My apologies, I was working on two different computers and retyped the code snippet incorrectly. The correct code should of course be:

import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
def f5(n):
    return format(n, 'n')
