This works: >>> area_group = {001:06, 002:04, 003:04, 006:9}
This does not (one the end, 09 is used instead of 9) >>> area_group = {001:06, 002:04, 003:04, 006:09} File "<stdin>", line 1 area_group = {001:06, 002:04, 003:04, 006:09} SyntaxError: invalid token Why does 09 cause an invalid token while 9 does not? ############################################### Python 2.4.4 (#2, Apr 5 2007, 18:43:10) [GCC 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian AMD64 4.1.1-21)] on linux2 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
