This is a problem both the original poster's suggestion:
>>> P = 100\

It was once a good idea, for Python 3 to forbid leading zeroes in integer

The error message was improved in the latest Python:

File "", line 1
SyntaxError: leading zeros in decimal integer literals are not
permitted; use an 0o prefix for octal integers
