Shouldn't be a problem unless you make it one. Int defaults to
decimal, unless you specify a base or tell it to infer the base from
the number format by specifying a base of zero.
>>> a = int("062")
>>> a
62
>>> a = int("062",0)
>>> a
50
Hard to interpret "099" as an octal number in any case:
>>> a = int("099",0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#59>", line 1, in -toplevel-
a = int("099",0)
ValueError: invalid literal for int(): 099
