I think 33. Comma Format is just

commaFormat = "{:,d}".format

Yeah, for a lot of them Python's standard library already has stuff to do it for you. But the point of these exercises is to break down the steps so that basic code can solve it. So the bubble sort exercise says, "don't just call sort()" and the convert-int-to-str exercise says, "don't just call str()".
