Summary: int/long unification and hex()
Initial Comment:
There seems to be a bit of an inconsistancy with
int/long unification while using hex(). Specifically;
>>> hex(int(987259835))
'0x3ad863bb'
>>> hex(long(987259835))
'0x3AD863BBL'
I understand that longs will have the trailing 'L'
until Py3k, but I believe the capitalization should be
consistant. If consistancy is desired, I believe that
lowercase should be the standard, being that
string.encode('hex') also produces lowercase.
If the cases are supposed to be different, or making
the change would produce known backwards
incompatibility for some set of modules, feel free to
close this bug report.

Fixed for Py2.5:
Objects/stringobject.c 2.230
Objects/longobject.c 1.168
Lib/test/test_long.py 1.27
Not worth backporting and possibly breaking someone's doctests.

The trailing L is perhaps easier to see as not a digit if other
letters are lowercase: 0x3ad863bbL, versus above.
