Will try to get the proper datasheet in the evening and do a check then.

I've checked both datasheets, but can't find any difference between the two ICs. The technical specifications are the same (the 6226 is a bit more detailed), but both tell the same information. Your output of python-i2c is "safe"? Checked it with a different IC? Maybe we should ask the manufacturer if the values are right or if the IC gives a floating output between -128 to 127.
