To generate the same numeric value across all Python versions and
platforms use crc32(data) & 0xffffffff. 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. Use & 0xffffffff on the
value if you want it to match 3.0 behavior.
.. versionchanged:: 3.0
- The return value will always be unsigned and in the range [0, 2**32-1]
+ The return value is unsigned and in the range [0, 2**32-1]
