[issue29751] PyLong_FromString fails on decimals with leading zero and base=0

Martin Panter added the comment: My guess is this is supposed to emulate (or is actually the implementation of) the "int" constructor and the Python syntax. In these cases, numbers with leading zeros are disallowed. This was to help with Python 2 porting, where a leading zero specified an octa

[issue29751] PyLong_FromString fails on decimals with leading zero and base=0

New submission from Cubi: Calling PyLong_FromString(str, NULL, 0) fails, if str is a string containing a decimal number with leading zeros, even though such strings should be parsed as decimal numbers according to the documentation: "If base is 0, the radix will be determined based on the lead
