On that topic of bitness for 64-bit platforms, would it not be better for CPython to be written such that it uses the same 64-bit strategy on all 64-bit platforms, regardless of the OS? As it is now, Python running on 64-bit Windows behaves differently (in terms of bits for the Python's integer) t

OK thanks, Benjamin, you are correct sys.maxsize is 2*63-1 on it. I was under the impression that Python was using int_64_t for the implementation of Win64 based integers. Most probably because I've sen discussion on Python 64 bits and those post were most probably were in the scope of some Unix

It is my greatest pleasure to announce the release of Python 2.7.5. 2.7.5 is the latest maintenance release in the Python 2.7 series. You may be surprised to hear from me so soon, as Python 2.7.4 was released slightly more than a month ago. As it turns out, 2.7.4 had several regressions and incomp
