A late addition to PEP 237 (http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0237/) says: - hex() and oct() applied to longs will continue to produce a trailing 'L' until Python 3000. The original text above wasn't clear about this, but since it didn't happen in Python 2.4 it was thought better to leave it alone. BDFL pronouncement here: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-June/065918.html When we aim for Python 2.7, we aim for the latest one, so this is right.
