I have tre (four) problems: 1) I am forced to use 2.5 since the production server has 2.5 installed. 2) Quite often I have to enter many zero-leading numbers and now my fingers put a leading zero almost everywhere 3) I don't understand why useless but *harmless* things like algebrically insignificant leading zeros should be *forbidden* and promoted to errors. 4) I still don't like the '0o..' notation because 0 (zero) and o (lowercase O) glyphs appear very similar in many character sets. I'd prefer something like '0c..' so it resembles the word 'oc' for 'octal'. David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
