For the message:
> invalid token, use 0o prefix for octal integers
I'd expect (without having any evidence to back this up) that the majority of
people who encounter this error would be those who intended a decimal literal
rather than an octal one, in which case an error message that talks about octal
might be confusing.
>>> import datetime
>>> birthday = datetime.datetime(1912, 06, 23)
File "<stdin>", line 1
birthday = datetime.datetime(1912, 06, 23)
^
SyntaxError: invalid token
Could we cover both cases in a single message? "leading zeros in decimal
integer literals are not permitted; use an 0o prefix for octal integers"
