Hi Gregory, I think the three functions have been fixed since Python 3.0. It 
looks like you changed them in revisions 6a7fa8421902 (zlib module) and 
132cf3a79126 (crc32 functions). Looking at the 3.0 branch, all three functions 
use PyLong_FromUnsignedLong(), but in the 2.7 branch, they use 
PyInt_FromLong(). This is tested in 
test_zlib.ChecksumTestCase.test_crc32_adler32_unsigned(). See also my changes 
to test_penguins() in the patch here for further testing. There is no explicit 
testing of binascii.crc32() unsignedness, but it is implicitly tested by 
test_same_as_binascii_crc32(), because the expected CRC is beyond the positive 
32 bit signed limit.

I am happy to put back the suggestion of masking for backwards compatibility if 
you really think it is necessary. But since it only involves Python < 3.0 
compatibility, I thought it would be okay to remove it; see my original post. 
The documentation is often pretty good about noting when Python 3 behaviours 
changed, but you usually have to look elsewhere to see the differences from 
Python 2.
