I wonder whether it would make sense for the Python 2.x hex function to fall back to __index__ when __hex__ isn't defined. With the current setup, it's not clear how to write 2.x code that will also run (post 2to3 translation) properly on 3.x. -- Mark -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
