I can't remember a time when signed hex, oct, or binary representation wasn't a major inconvenience, let alone something desirable. Don't get me started about hex(id(object()))! I typically use hex for addresses and bit fields, binary for bit flags and other bit twiddling, and oct for OS/file system interfaces. In none of those cases do you actually need or want signed values. IME. -Barry -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
