Current string.atoi: def atoi(s, base=10): return _int(s, base)
Proposed string.atoi: def atoi(s, *args): return _int(s, *args)
It looks harmless to me. My only concern would be if it started making things like string.atoi("0x10") accepted, but a quick experiment suggests that this would not be the case (in 2.2, at least).
