Incomplete patch that adds '0t777' and '0b101010' style literals. It lacks a NEWS item, documentation and compiler-package changes (although it may not need any.) 2to3 recipe also not included.

[Yhg1s]

The compiler package does indeed not need any changes, as it still uses Python's own tokenizer. And in case there's any doubt, I'm still -1 on this change :) (But unfortunately the easy implementation of it didn't exactly give me new ammo.)

[collinwinter]

Georg has worked up a 2to3 fixer that implements the 0777 -> 0o777 and assorted other numeric literal fix-ups, called fix_numliterals. 2to3 will support 0b101010 literals just as soon as I type up a commit message.

[Yhg1s]

Out of date and fixed already by another patch.
