You're right, we should support unsigned strings somehow.  
Adding another argument to the int() and long() constructors 
would be messy, though.  How about:

n = long(s, 256) #unsigned
n = long(s, -256) #signed

n.tounsignedstring()
n.tosignedstring()

The "-256" thing is a hack, I admit..  but it kinda grows on 
you, if you stare it at awhile :-)...
