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`
