Thanks, Jeff, that sheds proper light on the subject. I now have it through my head what "maxsize" means. I was hoping for a single test which would detect 64-bit-ed-ness in both Iron and C Python, but it was not to be. Looks like I'll have to detect platform first before testing for word size. But I am going to blindly assume that any Python which does not define sys.maxsize is 32 bit -- I think that will be safe enough.
By the way -- to help thick headed persons like me who might occasionally slip and use the old <us...@lists.ironpython.com> address, it would be nice if the "you screwed up" message which is automatically sent to the sender... were changed to a "you screwed up but I am fixing it for you" message. That way no one else will post the same message twice when he tries to fix his own mistake. -- Vernon On Wed, Feb 15, 2012 at 1:32 PM, Jeff Hardy <jdha...@gmail.com> wrote: > It's actually correct.
