    Hi!

    To just check if the number is in money format and valid money formats are "123" and "123.04" I would do something like this:

    def isMoney(money):
    money = str(money)
    if money.isdigit(): return True
    else:
        try:
            new = "%.2f" % float(money)
            return new == money
        except: return False

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print isMoney("123.004")  # False
    print isMoney(123)        # True
    print isMoney("123.04")   # True
    print isMoney("1.2.3")    # False
    print isMoney("hello")    # False

    Hi!

    My function just checks if the data is in money-format. If you want to convert it to this format, you can do this:

    def to_money(data):
    try:
        return "$%.2f" % data
    except:
        return False  # or some error message

print to_money(123.4)   # -> $123.40

    Hi!
how do you think about the following code?

def isMoney(money):
    money = str(money)
    if money.isdigit():
        return "%.2f" % float(money)
    else:
        try:
            new = "%.2f" % float(money)
            return new
        except: return False

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print isMoney("123.4")    # True
    print isMoney(123)        # True
    print isMoney("123.04")   # True
    print isMoney("1.2.3")    # False
    print isMoney("hello")    # False

it's looks better <pre>

    What about , comma. In some countries the default delimiter on decimal value is the , comma character. Not the . dot.

    isMoney with re.

    def isMoney(str):
import re
re_money = re.compile(r'\$([0-9]{,3}\,?)+(\.[0-9]{,2})?$')
    if(re_money.match(str)):
