Python 2.7 has format specifiers for thousands separation:

http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/2.7.html#pep-378-format-specifier-for-thousands-separator

moneyfmt recipe http://docs.python.org/library/decimal.html#recipes
might provide an alternative solution. In any case you should need to
get yticklabels and set them with the converted values.
