Long integer arrays in Python; how? /Carl

[Carl]

I have the following problem

import Numeric
dim = 1
bits = 32
v = Numeric.zeros((dim, bits), 'l')
for j in range(bits):
v[0][j] = 1L << bits - j - 1

The problem is the last assignment, which is not valid, since the integer is
on the right hand side is to large to be assigned to an array element.

Is there a way around this problem in Python?

Yours /Carl

Use Numeric.UnsignedInt32 as the data type.
