Wouldn't you also have to deal with possible errors from the PyInt_AsLong call? 
 E.g., after sys.exit(2**64), an OverflowException would be set.  I don't know 
if not dealing with that exception (perhaps with PyErr_Clear) before exit might 
cause issues, though it seems to work in practice (with the -1 value indicating 
an error being turned into an exit code of 255).
