octal encoding
#1
is the explicit octal sequence encoding supposed to be available or not in string literals?

b'\377' == b'\xff' and int('0o377', 8) == 0o377 == 0xff == 255

that's the implicit one.  i'm asking about the explicit one where you specify that it is octal.  and i am asking about what string literals accept, not numeric literals.

i thought string literals would accept explicit octal sequences so i included them in my conversion function.  i guess i am wrong.  i was too confident to RTFM or just test it myself.
