In Py2.6 and Py3.0, what would these emit:

  map(int, '08:30:00'.split(':'))     # handle common decimal string

formats with leading zeroes

  int('0777', 8)                                 # handle externally

created octal literal strings

  myfile.write(oct(44))                 # writing to a file format

that requires 054 style output

  eval(oct(44)) == 44                  #  basic invariant for oct(()

If any of those change from Py2.5, it will result in gratuitous code breakage for almost zero benefit.
