Integer literals beginning with 0 are considered octal in Python 2.x. Octal is
desirable because there are three permissions bits per role.

>>> oct(0644 & 0700)
'0600'

There is a better "error catcher" which is the Python 3.x behaviour:

>>> oct(0644 & 0700)
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    oct(0644 & 0700)
           ^
SyntaxError: invalid token
>>> oct(0o644 & 0o700)
'0o600'

Have you considered a VPN?
