[From a problem encountered by an EPD user, analyzed by Robert Kern]
There appears to be an
if isinstance(size_or_initializer, (int, long)):
check in the Python 2.x source for multiprocessing.RawArray. As a result, the
following works (as expected):
Python 2.7.1+ (2.7:24179f82b7de, Mar 25 2011, 19:11:09)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5664)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import multiprocessing
[49842 refs]
>>> multiprocessing.Array('i', 2)
<SynchronizedArray wrapper for <multiprocessing.sharedctypes.c_int_Array_2
object at 0x10073aae0>>
[65598 refs]
But replacing the '2' with a '2L' makes it fail:
>>> multiprocessing.Array('i', 2L)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

obj = RawArray(typecode_or_type, size_or_initializer)

line 85, in RawArray
type_ = type_ * len(size_or_initializer)
TypeError: object of type 'long' has no len()
