Maarten Thibaut added the comment: Guido, the problem is that my python foo is severely lacking - but I'll have a stab at it.
Python believes that the number coming back from the C library is negative. We can fool it by packing the "signed short" into a system-native format, and then unpacking it explicitly into an unsigned short. So I propose to do precisely that on big endian systems using sys.byteorder: wrap these functions with a converter. Would that be acceptible? __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1711> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
