Use 3.1:
>>> int('012')
12
(Just kidding! That works in 2.5 also. How are you using it where
it's coming out wrong? I can see you pulling '012' out of a text
file and want to calculate with it, but how would you use a
string without using int()? Passing it to functions that allow
string representations of numbers?)
