[issue33304] Syntax Error on leading 0 in integer tokens

[Steven D'Aprano]

Steven D'Aprano <steve+python at pearwood.info> added the comment:

This is not a bug, it is intentional.

In Python 2, numbers with a leading zero are interpreted as octal, leading to surprising results:

py> 015
13

In Python 3, we use 0o15 to get octal, and 015 becomes a syntax error.
