Hi, In python 2.0, this number was an integer: 0x88776655
but in python 2.4 it is a long (every number > 0x7fffffff it is a long) in python 2.4, is there a way to convert that number to a integer (notice that it only occupies 32 bits) ? thanks, riq. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
