Graham Dumpleton updated MODPYTHON-190:
---------------------------------------

    Fix Version/s:     (was: 3.3)

Taking this off the list of things to fix in 3.3. We really need someone who 
has access to Python 2.5 and a 64 bit platform to help us do this one and test 
it. Until then we could do more harm than good if we start fiddling with the 
code with no way to actually validate it works ourselves.

Agreed. Defer to to later.

Python 2.5 has been offically released, The major change that may effect 
mod_python is better support for 64-bit machines, allowing for things such as 
strings > 2GiB.
Details and conversion guidelines can be found in PEP-353.
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0353/
Scanning the mod_python source with the ssizecheck.py script mentioned in the 
PEP indicates a number of places that will require attention.
