Entering 007 gives a syntax error. Should return 7. 00 correctly returns 0. 007. correctly returns 7.0. |

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. |
