You may want to do this in C for speed, but C-style int wrapping is easily done by doing something like "x = x & 0xFFFFFFFFL" at crucial points in the code (for unsigned 32-bit ints) with an additional "if x & 0x80000000L: x -= 0x100000000L" to simulate signed 32-bit ints. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
