this was found as part of the regression tests, compiling python under wine under msys with mingw32. test_maxint64 failed. i tracked it down to the assumption that a long will fit into 32-bits, which obviously... it won't! the simplest case is to add a test for the length of the data string being 10 or more characters, on the basis that 9 or less is definitely going into an int; 11 or more is _definitely_ going into a long, and... well... bugger the 10 case, just stuff it in a long rather than waste time trying to find out how many chars it is.
if anyone wants to do a more perfect version of this, simple patch, they're mooore than welcome. l. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
