If you are only using the checksum in packed binary format this is not necessary as the - return value will have the correct 32bit binary representation + return value is the correct 32bit binary representation regardless of sign. .. versionchanged:: 2.6 - The return value will always be in the range [-2**31, 2**31-1] + The return value is in the range [-2**31, 2**31-1] regardless of platform. In the past the value would be signed on some platforms and unsigned on others.
