Simple DecimalField class extension that automatically adds formatting and validation for comma-separated "decimals". Works wonderfully for price fields.

Could be extended to strip dollar signs or to be locale-agnostic.

ActionScripted (on July 2, 2008):

I've noticed that when initializing without an explicit initial value, the field defaults to the string "None".

Not sure how to change this, but it'd be great if it would just fall-back to an empty string ("").

Davepar (on July 15, 2010):

Line 22 should be:

value = super(USDecimalHumanizedField, self).clean(value)

Otherwise the value never gets turned into a Decimal type.

Just in case anyone still uses this, to fix the "None" problem mentioned by ActionScripted, simply change line 10 so that:

if value: value = intcomma(value) else: value = ''
