New submission from Peter Wentworth <p.wentwo...@ict.ru.ac.za>:
In Python 3 we no longer have octal literals. The assignment
x = 0050
gives an invalid token error.
But the assignment
y = int("0050") assigns the value 50 to y.
I would advocate consistency in the two situations, and prefer that leading
zeros should be permitted on numbers.
