Now if you'll just sign and fax a Zope contributor agreement, I'll
upgrade ZODB to use this slick trick wink.
I hereby donate this line of code to

Maybe it's just a wart we have to live with now; OTOH,
the docs explicitly warn that id() may return a long, so any code

Well, the docs say that %x does unsigned conversion, so they've

Couldn't that be done anyway? The distinction really only

Hi all,
The Python binding in libxml2 uses the following code for __repr__():
class xmlNode(xmlCore):
def __init__(self, _obj=None):
self._o = None
xmlCore.__init__(self, _obj=_obj)
def __repr__(self):
return xmlNode (%s) object at 0x%x % (self.name, id (self))

I think so. This is the function ZODB 3.3 uses, BTW:
def positive_id(obj):
Return id(obj) as a non-negative integer.

I think it'd be nice to change it, too.
