Trouble converting string to int

[sts10]

Having some trouble converting strings that are numbers into integers or numbers.

In the playground:

a_number = int("110")
print 'a number is {a_number}' 

prints a number is 0

I also tried number():

a_number = number("110")
print 'a number is {a_number}'

prints a number is 1

Am I doing something wrong?

This should be fixed. Thanks for reporting this.
