I have a LOT of code that has hex literals, and a little code with  
oct literals (as you say, just os.chmod).  I'm -1 on removing hex and  
oct, and +0 on adding binary.

As a point of reference, both Perl and Ruby support 0b110 binary  
literal syntax

$ ruby -e 'print 0b110, "\n"'
6
$ perl -e 'print 0b110 . "\n"'
6
