Separating thousands using gspread formatting

Question

I have a number values which I am trying to format as a currency with a thousand separator in google sheets using gspread and gspread_formatting:

A

151644
56464

Desired output should look like this:

A

£ 151,644
£ 56,464

I tried:

worksheet.format('A', {'numberFormat': {'type' : 'CURRENCY', 'pattern': '£#.##0.'}})
worksheet.format('A', {'numberFormat': {'type' : 'CURRENCY', 'pattern': '£###. ###0'}})
worksheet.format('A', {'numberFormat': {'type' : 'CURRENCY', 'pattern': '£#.###'}})
worksheet.format('A', {'numberFormat': {'type' : 'CURRENCY', 'pattern': '£#.#'}})
worksheet.format('A', {'numberFormat': {'type' : 'CURRENCY', 'pattern': '£###'}})

Which none of return the expected result, I couldn't find documentation about the formatting patterns to have a thousand separators.

How could I achieve this using gspread_formatting package?
