I have a LOT of code that has hex literals, and a little code with oct literals (as you say, just os.chmod). I'm -1 on removing hex and oct, and +0 on adding binary. As a point of reference, both Perl and Ruby support 0b110 binary literal syntax $ ruby -e 'print 0b110, "\n"' 6 $ perl -e 'print 0b110 .
