Underscores in numerics are UGLY. Why not take a leaf out of implicit string concatenation and allow numeric literals to implicitly concatenate? Python already does: "hello-" "world" => "hello-world" Propose: 123 456 789 => 123456789 123.456 789 => 123.456789 -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
