This is no problem either. Simply switch to hexadecimal numbering ;) Or wrap around to negative numbers (a minus sign isn't technically a digit, is it?). Terrible idea. Would wreak havoc with comparisons. No. Python 3 is all about Unicode, so the right way to proceed is 3.8, 3.9, 3.:, 3.;, 3.<,_ _3.=, 3.>, 3.?, 3.@, 3.A. Let's stick to digits. We could move on to Devanagari or Gurmukhi digits.
