[Python-3000] octal literals PEP

[Guido van Rossum]

The PEP editors have admitted to being behind on the job. AFAIK PEPs
sent to the PEP editors before the deadline are in, regardless of when
the PEP goes online.

To save the PEP editors the effort, if you send it to me I will assign
it a PEP number and submit it. (Ditto for other PEPs in the same
situation.)
