"hex()/oct() of negative int" FutureWarning

[anonymous]

I've just installed PollMacro and noticed I'm getting lots of these in my error_log:

Poll.py:12: FutureWarning: hex()/oct() of negative int will return a signed string in Python 2.4 and up

I've 'fixed' it with the following:

@@ -9,7 +9,7 @@
 polldir = "/var/state/trac/polls"

 def title2label(title):
-       return hex(abs(crc32(title)))[2:]
+       return hex(crc32(title))[2:]

 class Poll:
     def __init__(self, path, title, options, env):

but this might not be the best solution for everyone, as it changes the path where poll data is kept.

I do not see these FutureWarnings under Python 2.4 on Linux. Presumably the beginnings of the numeric fixes in Python are what was being warned about.
