Python2.0 and Pmw 0.8.4 counter problem

[Richard Townsend]

I posted the same question a few months ago and got the following solution
from Roberto Amorim

> Hi, to correct it is simple. You'll have to edit PmwCounter.py. Here it

> - Find the function called _changeNumber() (line 273)
> - On line 279 there's the return statement for this function. Change it
> to return str(value) (and not return str(value)[:-1])

> That ocurred because str(long) on Python 2.0 doesn't return a number
> with L on the end like Python 1.5.2 did.
