So, different representations of literals are parsed as separate literals, then concatenated. To have the behaviour you describe, the case needs to be made separately that digit concatenation should not be consistent with the established string literal parsing behaviour.
I think it's a pretty easy case to make, since there is no obvious way of "concatenating" numbers written in different bases. So if it's to be allowed at all, it pretty much has to be restricted to a single base. However, I'd be just as happy with underscores. I don't see how there could be any great difficulty with implementing that -- it only affects the scanner. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
