I should probably state that I may use leading zeroes when using hexadecimal numbers. For example, I might write 0x000ABCDE, rather than 0xABCDE, but that's only if I'm using a lot of 32-bit values. If I only care about a single byte, I will use 0x01, for example. But for base-10, I would never use leading zeroes. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
