made a simple rhythm sample mixer for fun (think Roland TR-909)

Hi, For fun and to learn a bit from messing around a little with audio samples, I've created a rhythm sample mixer inspired by the Roland TR-909 drum machine. Basically you write rhythm sample patterns and it then sequences and mixes them into a output wav file or streams it to your speakers.

problem with dateutil

I am writing a program that has to deal with various date/time formats and convert these into timestamps. It looks as if dateutil.parser.parse should be able to handle about any format, but what I get is: datetimestr = '2012-10-22 11:22:33' print(dateutil.parser.parse(datetimestr)) result:

[issue26331] Tokenizer: allow underscores for grouping in numeric literals

[issue26331] Tokenizer: allow underscores for grouping in numeric literals

Georg Brandl added the comment: It's mostly for consistency. For example, ``int(x, 0)`` is defined by the docs as "interpret x as in a literal". Other bases have special cases as well, e.g. "0x" is accepted by base 16. In the current version of the conversions, the string is scanned for "_"
