Python 3.5.0 doesn't compile if the compiler doesn't support 64 signed integer: see pytime.h ;-) Are you aware of platforms still using FVN2? I'm also in favor of deprecating it. Maybe use #warning in C to log a deprecation warning. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28055> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
