Um. Is this the take away from this thread? Longs as dictionary keys are bad? Only for older versions of Python? This could be a problem for people like me who build lots of structures using seek values, which are longs, as done in http://nucular.sourceforge.net and http://bplusdotnet.sourceforge.net and elsewhere.
