[Zope] formatting problem...

[Luciano Ramalho]

Hello, Daniel!

Instead of just reformatting the data, you should convert it from a long
integer to a plain integer as soon as you get it from the query. Then
you'll be able to handle it more easily. This would be a quick fix.

A better long term solution would be to investigate why you are gettin
long integers from MySQL in the first place, and fix the cause instead
of the symptom.

If you need any additional help, don't hesitate to contact us.

Best regards,

Luciano
