This is correct. sizeof(long) != sizeof(void *) on Win64, and size Python int's are platform longs, you get the maxsize of a 32-bit int. Check sys.maxsize for comparison. -- Regards, Benjamin _______________________________________________ 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
