int is designed for humans, not C programmers. humans tend to view
e.g. "08" as a valid decimal number (*), not a ValueError.
to get programmer behaviour, pass in 0 as the base:
>>> int("10", 0)
10
>>> int("010", 0)
8
>>> int("0x10", 0)
16
</F>
*) unless you're living in sweden, in which case "08" is quite often used
as an insult.
