How fortunate then that Python 2 is history (soon to be ancient history)
and people can use Python 3 where that error of judgement has been
rectified.
At least you're agreeing it was a mistake.
Although it does still mean that Python 3 has this funny quirk:
a = 00000 # ok
a = 00123. # ok
a = int("00123") # ok
a = 00123 # error
