New submission from Chris Wilson :
The documentation for the int() builtin says:
Base 0 means to interpret exactly as a code literal, so that the actual base is
2, 8, 10, or 16, and so that int('010', 0) is not legal, while int('010') is,
as well as int('010', 8).
https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int
However 010 is a valid code literal, and int('010', 0) is legal (both are
correctly interpreted as octal).
