I just skimmed the pipermail python-dev archives and found one item to pronounce on: what "%o" should do with negative longs. I agree with Tim. Also for "%x". Reason: this matches oct() and hex(). >>> oct(-10L) '-012L' >>> oct(-10) '037777777766' >>> hex(-10L) '-0xAL' >>> hex(-10) '0xfffffff6' >>> Compatibility be damned (in this case). (One could argue that for plain ints, the same result are desirable; however when these are used as bitmasks, I as human reader prefer to see '0xfffffff6' rather than '-0xA'. Ah the insanity of consistency!) --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
