Logged In: YES user_id=21627 I would have never guessed that arbitrarily long ints are a requirement in your application... For that application, I'd recommend to use ASN.1 BER as a well-document, efficient, binary marshalling format. I don't think any other format marshals arbitrary large integers in a more compact form. You can find an implementation of that in http://www.cnri.reston.va.us/software/pisces/ or http://www.enteract.com/~asl2/software/PyZ3950/asn1.py or http://sourceforge.net/projects/pysnmp (ber.py) I'd be in favour of having a BER support library in the Python core, but somebody would have to contribute such a thing, of course.
