Georg Brandl added the comment:

A short sentence like 

Be careful when using number literals for *mode*. The conventional UNIX 
notation for numeric modes uses an octal base, which needs to be indicated with 
a ``0o`` prefix in Python.

should be a good addition here.  (I wonder why it isn't there, I seem to recall 
an earlier issue about this.)
