In Py2.6 and Py3.0, what would these emit:
map(int, '08:30:00'.split(':')) # handle common decimal string
formats with leading zeroes
int('0777', 8) # handle externally
created octal literal strings
myfile.write(oct(44)) # writing to a file format
that requires 054 style output
eval(oct(44)) == 44 # basic invariant for oct(()
If any of those change from Py2.5, it will result in
gratuitous code breakage for almost zero benefit.
