Post a question to post bugs into the Questions site, but in this case it is not an error.

If you see line 18 in API.py I am importing int from builtins (coming from the future module). In Python 2 this int now includes int and long. In Python 3 this int only includes int.

You can make a test yourself to check.

Looks like this release broke some Python 2 support when it added 3 support. Specifically, the _is_u32 function only checks that the incoming value is an int, not a long. This is only appropriate for Python 3. In Python 2, 32-bit values with the high bit set become longs. Pynrfjprog 7.6.0 handled this correctly.

Is there a better place to report bugs with the library?

Great news, thanks. Looking forward to have official cross-platforms tools ;)

Thanks Juha, has been added to known issues/limitations! This will probably be fixed in a future release.

I just managed to get nrfjprog working on Linux and have one correction to documentation;

nrfjprog has to be in different directory than JLink files for things to work, not same directory ( folder ).
