STINNER Victor added the comment:

If you open the can of worms, other features will be requested like 
uint32+uint32 which would silently overflow.

IMHO it would be better to have a package (on PyPI) providing integers of fixed 
size implementing two's complement arithmetic: int8, uint16, etc. I failed to 
find an existing module.
