Hi, I installed the amd64 version of Python 2.6.1 on my Windows XP x64 system. I was expecting sys.maxint to be 9223372036854775807 (or 2 ^63 -1), but instead I got 2147483647 (i.e., 2^31-1) just like what I got from a 32-bit version of Python. Is this by design or does it indicate a bug or an installation problem? Thank you very much!
