Matthew Barnett <pyt...@mrabarnett.plus.com> added the comment:

I am not able to build or test a 64-bit version. The update was to the source 
files to ensure that if it is compiled for 64 bits then the string positions 
will also be 64-bit.

This change was prompted by a poster who tried to use the re module of a 64-bit 
Python build on a 30GB memmapped file but found that the string positions were 
still limited to 32 bits.

It looked like a 64-bit build of the regex module would have the same 
limitation.
