Is there any way to group digits in a Python code to increase code legibility? I've tried ' and _ which are digit separators of some other languages, but no avail.
A weird operator which concatenates its left hand side with its right hand side could also work out.

Use the map() and str. split() Functions to Split an Integer Into Digits in Python. The map() function implements a stated function for every item in an iterable. The item is then consigned as a parameter to the function.
this is used for interpreting a mixed-type input data file. '_' was used as a delimiter to combine two integer id's in some fields and all of a sudden (after python 3.6 upgrade), these fields are converted into one integer!
What are numeric literals? Numeric literals are used to represent numbers in a python program.In python we have different types of numeric literals such as integers, floating point numbers and complex numbers. Integers in python are numbers with no fractional component.
Update a few years later: Python 3.6 now supports PEP515, and so you can use _ for float and integer literal readability improvement.

For python3.6.0a2 and earlier, you should get an error message similar to:

import locale locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '') locale.atoi("1,000,000") If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
