Fred Fettinger <fetti...@gmail.com> added the comment: I've never really looked at the python source before, but this is my best guess at the problem:
For the standard SELECT query: In Modules/_sqlite/cursor.c, _pysqlite_fetch_one_row() has this code: PY_LONG_LONG intval; ... } else if (coltype == SQLITE_INTEGER) { intval = sqlite3_column_int64(self->statement->st, i); if (intval < INT32_MIN || intval > INT32_MAX) { converted = PyLong_FromLongLong(intval); } else { converted = PyInt_FromLong((long)intval); } } For user-defined function arguments: In Modules/_sqlite/connection.c, _pysqlite_build_py_params() has this code: PY_LONG_LONG val_int; ... case SQLITE_INTEGER: val_int = sqlite3_value_int64(cur_value); cur_py_value = PyInt_FromLong((long)val_int); break; A select query can return long integers from C to python but a user-defined function argument cannot. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8033> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
