[issue5133] Error with Eval

[Ezio Melotti]

Ezio Melotti <ezio.melotti at gmail.com> added the comment:

The leading zero is used to define octal numbers, 8 and 9 are not valid
octal digits, see
http://docs.python.org/reference/lexical_analysis.html#integer-and-long-integer-literals

Also, you don't need to use eval to reproduce that behavior.

The number displayed is the decimal equivalent:
>>> 07
7
>>> 010
8
