No. You would have to modify and recompile the interpreter. This is not exactly trivial, see "How to Change Python's Grammar" http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0306/ However, see "Integer Literal Support and Syntax" http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3127/ (Basically in 2.6 and onwards you can use 0oNNN notation.) > I'd really like 012 to be "12" and not "10". > > If I want an octal I'll use oct()! But that gives you a string, you're asking about literals. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
