Underscores in Python numbers

[bonono at gmail.com]

Personally, I would rather see the int() and float() function be
smarter to take what is used for this, i.e. :

a = int("1,234,567")

Of course, also support the locale variant where the meaning of "," and
"." is swapped in most European countries.
