Converting Python2 hex variable to Python3

Question

I'm trying to convert a small file from Python2 to Python3. This hex variable assignment is blocking me.

a = 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEFFFFFC2FL

The error I'm receiving is:

a = 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEFFFFFC2FL
                                                                      ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Any suggestions?

Lose the `L`, it's redundant in Python 3 - all integers are long if they need to be. — Mark Ransom, Feb 07 '21 at 01:54

Is there a problem if you remove the L? Is that not the value you expect?

>>> 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEFFFFFC2F
