Strange phenomenon?

Hi List,

The last 6 month I have been developing a system with Python, wxPython
and pyPgSQL. I use Python 2.2.2, PostgreSQL 7.3.2 (the latest) and
pyPgSQL 2.3

Mostly, it works great. Thanks to all contributors.

However, lately I saw a strange phenomenon. When I use the following
select statement :

Select last-value from tabellen_tab-id_seq;

where tabellen_tab-id_seq is a Postgresql sequence, I get back a number
followed by an 'L' so in this case the result was 
[547L]. Obviously this fails in the rest of my code, because I expect an
integer.

I think it might have something to do with the fact that in PostgreSQL
this is an 8 byte int, but I am not sure....

Kind regards,
Dick Kniep
