[New-bugs-announce] [issue1413] int literal methods inaccessible

[Michal Božoň]

New submission from Michal Božoň:

It's impossible to call methods of int literals directly e.g.
1.__str__() (the same for oct literals).
Even through it works for float, hex, literals, etc..

>>> 0x1.__str__()
'1'
>>> 1e0.__str__()
'1.0'
>>> 1..__str__()
'1.0'
>>> hasattr(1, '__str__')
True
>>> 1.__str__()
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    1.__str__()
            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> 01.__str__()
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    01.__str__()
             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
