[Python-Dev] signed - unsigned - big troubles 2.4a2

Many python programmas are relaying on computer int size - in prior versions bitnees is 32 long - now smoething happens and signed/unsigned value is not 32 bit long int but unsigned long int or even better unsigned uint64 consider that: a = ord(data[i]) .. data[i+4] - value is int or int64, signed or unsigned ? 0xf.. in prior versions up to 2.4.a2 int was used as signed value, now it is unsigned int64, so my question how to create signed int32 ? mak
