Hi all!
I have been translating some Python custom C extension code into Python,
as I need these modules to be portable and run on a PocketPC without the
need of compile (for the purpose its a must 2.4 as it is the last
PythonCE release with great improvements).
But I've been stuck with a script wich does not work as expected once
translated to python, 2.4
In the meantime, I thought I could test it with an old 2.3 version I
have installed too on my computer, and found it run as expected, but see
the FutureWarning, so googled a bit and found PEP 237 and long integer
integration issue, but then can't find any workaround to fix the code
for Python 2.4
Hope somebody could point some suggestion, or perhaps, the solution is
pretty simple, but I missed it.
As I said, the code works fine on 2.3. I attach the code below.
The trouble is on the CalcCRC16 function, as you can see on the
FutureWarning message.
InitCRC16 function does some bitwise xor's too, but I checked it and
works as expected. Thought because only happen to be with small values
there.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Gonzalo
