81These operators accept plain or long integers as arguments. The
82arguments are converted to a common type. They shift the first
83argument to the left or right by the number of bits given by the
84second argument.
85
86<P>
87A right shift by <var>n</var> bits is defined as division by
88<code>pow(2,<var>n</var>)</code>. A left shift by <var>n</var> bits is defined as
89multiplication with <code>pow(2,<var>n</var>)</code>; for plain integers there is
90no overflow check so in that case the operation drops bits and flips
91the sign if the result is not less than <code>pow(2,31)</code> in absolute
92value. Negative shift counts raise a <tt class="exception">ValueError</tt>
93exception.
