I'm not aware of anyone that would miss octal literals, Except anyone who uses os.chmod. I would be mighty sad if we removed octal and hexadecimal literals for 'cleanliness' reasons alone.
I have a LOT of code that has hex literals, and a little code with
oct literals (as you say, just os.chmod). I'm -1 on removing hex and
oct, and +0 on adding binary.
As a point of reference, both Perl and Ruby support 0b110 binary
literal syntax
$ ruby -e 'print 0b110, "\n"' 6 $ perl -e 'print 0b110 . "\n"' 6
