C doesn't support decimal in string literals either, only octal and hex (incidentally octal seems to have been much more common in the environments where C was first invented). I can think of one context where decimal is used for characters, actually, now that I think about it. ANSI/ISO standards for 8-bit character sets often use a 'split' decimal format (i.e. DEL = 7/15 rather than 0x7F or 127.) _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
