What answer were you hoping for, and why? 2**31-1? 2**63-1? If you're thinking of the -1 as representing a particular fixed-width bit pattern, try doing a bitwise 'and' operation with a suitable mask first. For example, if you're thinking of -1 as a 32-bit quantity, then (-1 & (2**32-1)) >> 1 might produce what you want. Mark -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
