    | I have found error in string module. This is a test program:
    | ---
    | from string import atoi
    | str1 = "0x8e"
    | print atoi(str1, 16)
    | print atoi(str1)
    | ---

This actually works as expected in CPython; the first one prints 142
and the second raises an exception (as expected, since the default
base is 10).

However, in JPython the first atoi() call does indeed give you a
traceback because it doesn't grok the second argument (i.e. the
optional base).  This has already been reported as PR#153

    http://www.python.org/jpython-bugs/incoming?id=153

so there's no need for you to resubmit it.
