Help with #381343 (FutureWarning: hex/oct constants > sys.maxint will return positive values in Python 2.4 and up)

[Ludovic Rousseau <ludovic.rousseau@free.fr>]

Hello,

I am _not_ a Python user/developper but maintain the plucker and
plucker-desktop packages which are Python scripts.

The warnings I get are:
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/PyPlucker/helper/gettext.py:131: FutureWarning: hex/oct constants > sys.maxint will return positive values in Python 2.4 and up
  if _lsbStrToInt(buffer[:4]) != 0x950412de:
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/PyPlucker/helper/gettext.py:176: FutureWarning: hex/oct constants > sys.maxint will return positive values in Python 2.4 and up
  f.write(_intToLsbStr(0x950412de))    # magic number
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/PyPlucker/helper/prc.py:244: FutureWarning: hex/oct constants > sys.maxint will return positive values in Python 2.4 and up
  attr = (auid & 0xff000000) >> 24
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/PyPlucker/helper/prc.py:876: FutureWarning: hex/oct constants > sys.maxint will return positive values in Python 2.4 and up
  attr = (auid & 0xff000000) >> 24


What is the best way to solve these warnings and avoid possible
problems with Python 2.4?
