You misunderstand how computers and programming languages work. What you're seeing there is that *integer literals* are usually in base 10; and actually, I can point to plenty of assembly languages where the default isn't base 10 (it's usually base 16 (hexadecimal) on IBM PCs, and probably base 8 (octal) on big iron). This is nothing to do with the internal representation, and all to do with source code. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
