Hmm... It has a perverse Pythonic smell... But I fear it would introduce more backwards incompatibilities, because it would have to apply to longs as well, and hence change the output whenever a negative long is converted to hex or octal. (And what about %u? Should "%u" % -1 return "~0" too?) --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
