My worry focuses on new-timers and SyntaxErrors. The worst part of the new user experience is encountering a SyntaxError.</blockquote><div><br>Please. I already said it would be a SyntaxError *with explanation*. It's pretty easy to make a syntax error that goes "Did you mean 0t6065 or 6065?". This would not be a syntax error handled by the parser, the tokenizer really doesn't care about leading 0's and
ast.c's parsenumber (which would be the spot to raise it) has all the necessary information.<br></div></div><br>-- <br>Thomas Wouters <<a href="mailto:thomas@python.org">thomas@python.org</a>><br><br>Hi! I'm a .signature virus! copy me into your .signature file to help me spread!
