We already have a perfectly good syntax for entering octal and hex integers, because those are commonly used in many applications. There are, on occasion, need for other bases, but they are so rare, specialized, and non-standard (RFC-1924, for example, uses an interesting flavor of base-85) that having syntax built into the language to support them would be completely unjustified. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
