The documentation for the int() builtin says:

Base 0 means to interpret exactly as a code literal, so that the actual base is 2, 8, 10, or 16, and so that int('010', 0) is not legal, while int('010') is, as well as int('010', 8).

https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int

However 010 is a valid code literal, and int('010', 0) is legal (both are correctly interpreted as octal).

Actually, octal is not a legal literal in Python 3, sorry.
