Py3.0 has

bin(x)
Convert an integer number to a binary string. The result is a valid
Python expression. If x is not a Python int object, it has to define an
__index__() method that returns an integer. 

Py2.6 doesn't document builtin bin.

[vpython]

Perhaps there are other 3.0 builtins that were also missed, in the 2.6 docs?

[mdickinson]

In addition, the description of binary literals is missing from the
lexical analysis section of the reference manual, as is the description
of new-style octal literals (i.e. "0o23" instead of "023").

Here's a patch (against the trunk; 2.6 also needs fixing).

Fixed in r67060.
