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 ?
