Hi,
I've been using and enjoying MetaKit on Mac OS X over the past couple
of days, but have run into a problem. If I try to store a long int, I
sometimes get an coercion error, and sometimes get -1. Here's an
example that demonstrates the latter:
% cat longtest.py
import metakit
x = metakit.storage()
v = x.getas('hi[x:I,y:L]')
v.append(x=221400115,y=221400115)
v.append(x=221400115,y=2214001150)
print v[0].x, v[0].y
print v[1].x, v[1].y
% python2.2 longtest.py
221400115 221400115
221400115 -1
I need to store large integers so this is somewhat of a problem. Any
ideas what could be causing it? If I use an 'I' column instead of the
'L' column, I get this error:
ValueError: int() literal too large: 2214001150
The coercion error is very strange, as the backtrace is incorrect and
it occurs _after_ the column is set, which makes me suspect some kind
of corruption at work.
metric3 count 2214001150 <type 'long'> L <type 'long'> set
Traceback (most recent call last):

OverflowError: long int too large to convert to int
Obviously the for loop is not causing this issue :-)
In addition to OS X 10.2.2/Python 2.2.2 (compiled with GCC 3.1), I've
also tested on Linux with Python 2.2.1 (compiled with GCC 2.95.4).
I tested the Tcl binding as best I could - not being a Tcl person -
and it seemed that long ints can successfully be stored with the Tcl
binding. There weren't any type specifiers so it was hard to tell!
Thanks,
