+- %[duxXo] formats of negative Python longs now produce a sign
+ character. In 1.6 and earlier, they never produced a sign,
+ and raised an error if the value of the long was too large
+ to fit in a Python int. In 2.0, they produced a sign if and
+ only if too large to fit in an int. This was inconsistent
+ across platforms (because the size of an int varies across
+ platforms), and inconsistent with hex() and oct(). Example:
+
+ >>> "%x" % -0x42L
+ '-42' # in 2.1
+ 'ffffffbe' # in 2.0 and before, on 32-bit machines
+ >>> hex(-0x42L)
