Hmm. I take that back. I don't think any of this really belongs in Objects/longobject.c. Right now that module contains entirely portable C code that knows almost nothing about operating systems. In particular, the knowledge that -1 has special meaning doesn't really have a place in the longobject implementation. Is it possible to just use PyLong_FromLong / PyLong_FromLongLong etc. depending on the precision of uid_t / gid_t? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4591> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
