When compiling Ethereal on a system with Python 2.3 installed, the following warning is printed (some of our code is auto-generated):
ncp2222.py:2269: FutureWarning: hex/oct constants > sys.maxint will return positive values in Python 2.4 and up
In other words, Mr. van Rossum is nice enough to let you know about upcoming changes in the language.
