[issue5133] Error with Eval

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

They don't crash.  They raise a SyntaxError because the "08" and "09"
are invalid octal literals.

If you're working with decimal literals that are padded on the left with
zeroes, those need to be stripped off before conversion:

   '000987'.lstrip('0') --> '987'

Or, you can use the int() function:

   int('000987')
