I guess here you're using char as int.

To do the same in pyhton ...
>         sourceframe = list(source)
 ... use  sourceframe = map(ord,source) instead !!

!!!! *y* becomes an int because  *sourceframe* is a list of ints !!!!

*********The following line has no effect**********************
>         int(y)
***************************************************************

!!!! Now *y* is an int and can be shifted !!!!
>         yy = y << 8 # This is where it blows up
