It's simpler than that... Try this:
>>> x = 08
File "<stdin>", line 1
x = 08
^
SyntaxError: invalid token
>>> x = 010
>>> x
8
Basically, python interprets integer literals starting with 0 as octal
numbers. It's an old convention from C (or earlier?). It doesn't
affect strings, so int('010') == 10 (unless you use eval).
HTH!
