About the mismatch: of course it's probably not a good idea to change the
parser (so that simply typing १२३४ in Python 3 code is like typing 1234), but

relying on int(u'१२
Shreevatsa R added the comment:
Minor difference, but the relevant function for int() is not quite isdigit(),
e.g.:
>>> import unicodedata
>>> s = u'\u2460'
>>> unicodedata.name(s)
'CIRCLED DIGIT ONE'
>>> print

https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html the documentation for
class int(x=0)
class int(x, base=10)
says (respectively):
