New submission from Steven D'Aprano <steve+pyt...@pearwood.info>:

The Python 2.x syntax for octal integers is a syntax error in 3.x, but the 
error message is very uninformative:

SyntaxError: invalid token


Can this be improved? Perhaps to something like:

invalid token, use 0o prefix for octal integers


(see also #33304)
