  ...PEP for a full discussion: <http://python.sf.net/peps/pep-0238.html> Future statements are now effective in simulated interactive shells (like IDLE). This should "just work" by magic, but read Michael Hudson's "Future statements in simulated shells" PEP 264 for full details: <http://python.sf.net/peps/pep-0264.html>.

When the sign is actually folded, as in int("0xffffffff", 0) on a 32-bit machine, which returns -1, a FutureWarning is now issued; in Python 2.4, this will return 4294967295L, as do int("+0xffffffff", 0) and int("0xffffffff", 16) right now. (PEP...
