I'd drop the default radix, or make it something common like 16... especially if hex and oct are to be py3k deprecated. +1 for: base(value, radix) +1 for: "%b" % (integer,) +0 for binary literals: 0b01101 -bob _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
