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 ?
