These operators accept plain or long integers as arguments. The
arguments are converted to a common type. They shift the first
argument to the left or right by the number of bits given by the
second argument.
A right shift by n bits is defined as division by
pow(2,n). A left shift by n bits is defined as
multiplication with pow(2,n); for plain integers there is
no overflow check so in that case the operation drops bits and flips
the sign if the result is not less than pow(2,31) in absolute
value. Negative shift counts raise a ValueError
exception.
