Hello

Ive recently found that you cannot type anything over 7 into a number that is 
preceded with a 0.
ex:
     >>> 01
    1
    >>> 07
    7
    >>> 08
    SyntaxError: invalid token
    >>> 011
    9
    >>> 017
    15
    >>> 077
    63
    >>> 078
    SyntaxError: invalid token

I know this isnt that big of a problem,
but i cannot think of one reason why they would not allow numbers preceded with 
a 0 to have a number
higher then a 7 in them...
And it seems very inconsistant to me...

Is there a reason for this?

Thanks
Peter
