DEF X = 0x1234 raises ValueError in ExprNodes.py

[Jacques Frechet]

I use Cython 0.9.13.1 to compile source containing a hexadecimal compile-time constant such as this one:

  DEF X = 0x1234

The build fails with the following exception:

  ...
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Cython/Compiler/ExprNodes.py", line 672, in compile_time_value
    return int(self.value)
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '0xffff'

I would naively imagine that this could be fixed quite easily by replacing the relevant line in ExprNodes.py with

    return int(self.value, 0)

Hardly seems worth the trouble of attaching a patch, but if you'd like me to do so, just say the word.

Thanks!

Yes, that's probably the right way to do it. Thanks!
