[C++-sig] Can't convert to unsigned int

[Mark Russell]

In my case I need to set the flag in python, it is used in the wrapped c++
api.  So for example if I set the flag as follows in python:

>> someflag = flag(0x80000000L)

I can then use it to make my wrapped api call

>> apicall(someflag)

My converter then extracts the value of flag for use in the api
all.  --Mark

I guess I don't see how that helps.  Don't you eventually need a
Python integer type somewhere?
