Integer conversion

[Colin J. Williams]

int(string, base) => integer

For int('127',  8), I had expected this function to deliver 87.

The example below correctly gives errors at the top and bottom of the
range and
for int('127', 10) delivers 127.  The other cases are not what I
expected.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

for b in range(2,38):
  try:
    print b, '[', int('127', b), ']'
  except:
    pass
    print 'error'
