Fred, please try the attached patch.  If it works on your box, 
just check it in.  repr.py was doing a dumb thing, assuming 
that hex(number) always starts with '0x'.  The patch also 
does a dumb thing, but it's the same as the dumb thing 
test_repr.py does <wink>.

I'll add that this was run on a Fedora Core 1 system.
