Py_BuildValue format code for unsigned int ?

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

is there a format code to return an unsigned int to Python via
Py_BuildValue? Just using code 'i' gives negative values for values
greater than 2**31.

I've tried the code 'I' (with python 2.4 cvs) but that's not accepted.

Many thanks for a hint,

*PyLong_FromUnsignedLong to get a PyObject * to a Python long object,
then use the N format to steal the reference you're creating with
**PyLong_FromUnsignedLong.

HTH,
