So that someone who knows next-to-nothing about those 2 languages can
help you, what is x >> n defined to do in PHP and Javascript?

If you can answer that question, what part of the Python implementation
of the PHP/Javascript definition are you having trouble with?

If you can't answer it ... is the problem caused by the fact that
4653896912 is, at 9 hex digits, a bit large for a 32-bit integer, those
2 languages don't have longer integers [my guess],
*and*, to quote something I found about PHP while googling,

http://theopensourcery.com/phplogic.htm

"In effect the bitwise operations [words "can be" omitted, I presume]
safely applied to integer variables - their effect on booleans,
float/double or string variables can be predicted but are not really
useful" ???
