Summary: int('somenumber',0) returns somenummber

Initial Comment:
Found this incredibly minor bug in Python 2.2 and 2.3
while writing testcases for PyPy.

>>> int('123',1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ValueError: int() base must be >= 2 and <= 36
>>> int('123',0)
123
>>>

Ooops, sorry about that.
So, now I guess I should change the PyPy one to guess.

Thanks Tim.

Sorry, you don't get a Bug Hunter award for this one, not 
even an incredibly minor award <wink>.  From the docs,

"If radix is zero, the proper radix is guessed based on the 
contents of string; the interpretation is the same as for 
integer literals."  So, e.g.,

>>> int('10', 0)
10
>>> int('010', 0)
8
>>> int('0x10', 0)
16
>>>

but

>>> int('010')
10
>>>
