It looks like this is a Python 2.3 error. In Python 2.4, the PyLong_AsUnsignedLong was changed to accept Python integers as well as Python longs. The problem with fixing it is I'm not sure where PyLong_AsUnsignedLong is being called. I can't find that call in the current source code. It's possible that Pyrex changed and this function is no longer being used in mtrand.c -Travis ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
