There seems to an error in the `f-string` error description when one do:


>>> f'{1:,,}'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: Cannot specify both ',' and '_'.
>>> 

The error seems to be that, i am not specifying both ',' and '_', but it does seem to think so.

This also seems to be happening for `str.format`:

>>> '{:,,}'.format(1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: Cannot specify both ',' and '_'.


So i was just wondering if this is an issue worth raising :)


Thank you

It has to do with how the specification for the mini-language is parsed and how the defaults work. It could probably be fixed, but I'm personally not super motivated to track it down. But I'd look at a patch!

I'm going to remove versions that we wouldn't backport this to.

Let me see if i can try to come up with something :)
