Something got lost there in a last-minute edit. I meant to say: My main interest is that we should move away from just leading zero as octal; that we should disallow leading zero altogether because of the confusion it would cause for folks coming from other languagesl and that we should avoid the swamp that is generalized numeric bases. I'm neutral about the choice between 0o, 0c or 0t. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ 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
