An alternative would be to allow spaces.
I would prefer to allow space between digits in a numeric literal. 1 2345 6789 1 2 3 4 5 6789 1 234 6789 1 234 567 89 9.876 543 210 0xFEFF 0042 This nicely parallels the fact that space can separate chunks of a string literal. But that still leaves the following inconsistency: int('1 234 567') That will currently raise a ValueError. Should it continue to do so under this proposal? -- \ “You say “Carmina”, and I say “Burana”, You say “Fortuna”, and | `\ I say “cantata”, Carmina, Burana, Fortuna, cantata, Let's Carl | _o__) the whole thing Orff.” —anonymous | Ben Finney
