[New-bugs-announce] [issue42914] pprint numbers with underscore

[Felipe]

New submission from Felipe <felipe.nospam.ochoa at gmail.com>:

It would be nice if pprint learned to insert underscores in long numbers

Current behavior:

>>> pprint.pprint(int(1e9))
1000000000

Desired behavior

>>> pprint.pprint(int(1e9))
1_000_000_000

Wikipedia tells me that "groups of 3" is the international standard to be followed here [1][2]
