Summary: FutureWarning: %u/%o/%x/%X of negative int will return a sig

Initial Comment:
printf style formatting:

"FutureWarning: %u/%o/%x/%X of negative int will return a signed string in Python 2.4 and up"

The library reference clearly states that these are UNSIGNED representations, so the Futurewarning must be spurious!

Please tell me you don't really intend to break this in 2.4 !!!!

In 20+ yrs of low level bit-twiddling I have never ever wanted a signed hexadecimal. The idea of a signed hex or octal is just plain stupid.
