Given that I haven't really learned python yet, I was suspecting
lack of knowledge. We need reliable handling of unsigned 32 bit
numbers so upgrade to python 2.0 is likely best, unless there
is a good workaround. If the solution is upgraed to 2.0 we need
a way to check to make certain you are running python 2.0
