@ -120,17 +120,17 @@ The :mod:`binascii` module defines the following functions:
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]
regardless of platform.
