[Josiah] > Do we deprecate it followed by a later removal Nope. Just drop them from Python 3000. No one (except Greg) will miss them. The 2-to-3 tool can convert 0123 constants to decimal or hex. Any need to process external octal value can already be done explicitly through: int(octstring, 8). Raymond P.S. My note was occasioned by a colleague encountering errors with integer data that had leading zeroes. He was surprised to find-out that the lead zero notation for octal literals had been around for a long time. _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
