In directory usw-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv13895

Modified Files:
	pep-0237.txt 
Log Message:
Remove author's email addresses.

Mention %X (same treatment as %x).

Insert new stage B0, which gives warnings about e.g. 0xffffffff
without semantic changes.  Move the proposed deployment of subsequent
stages up by one minor revision.

!     - Currently, the '%u', '%x' and '%o' string formatting operators
!       and the hex() and oct() built-in functions behave differently
!       for negative numbers: negative short ints are formatted as
!       unsigned C long, while negative long ints are formatted with a
!       minus sign.  This will be changed to use the long int semantics
!       in all cases (but without the trailing 'L' that currently
!       distinguishes the output of hex() and oct() for long ints).
!       Note that this means that '%u' becomes an alias for '%d'.  It
!       will eventually be removed.
  
      - Currently, repr() of a long int returns a string ending in 'L'

+         '%u', '%x', '%X' and '%o', hex and oct literals in the
+         (inclusive) range [sys.maxint+1, sys.maxint*2+1], and left

      B1. The remaining semantic differences are addressed.  Operations
          that give different results than before will issue a warning
