This is a simple tip but can be very useful to visualize large numbers quickly. This feature requires Python 3.6+.

When expressing large numbers in Python, you are unable to use a comma , separator but you are now able to use an underscore _ to make large numbers more readable.

Example time

Right now my reputation is 95,772,209,949,706.000 when looked at in raw form.

To express this in Python you typically would use.

themarkymark_rep = 95772209949706.000

With python 3.6 you can use underscores in your numeric literals like this

themarkymark_rep = 95_772_209_949_706.000

This doesn't change how your code functions in anyway but does make it easier to visualize the scale of the number.

You can also use this when doing binary numbers such as

flags = 0b_0011_1111_0100_1110
