For future reference, octal constants with leading "0o" work in both py2
and py3:
0o777 # works in py2 and py3
0777 # works in py2; syntax error in py3
Interesting. The online source that I found made it seem
like there was no compatible way and suggested decimals.
Anyway, using symbolic constants is certainly even better.
