When treated as an unsigned 32bit value those are identical. Guido prefers to keep Python 2.x always having signed values for the scattered crc functions. We changed it for 3.0 because it makes more sense given that python these days no real fixed-bits numeric type. See also http://bugs.python.org/issue1202 I posted a workaround in there. Always & the crc32() or adler32() return value with 0xFFFFFFFF.
