Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: The patch adds too much code, but there is very little need of new feature. In all cases where PyLong_FromLong() and PyLong_FromLongLong() are used conditionally, PyLong_FromLongLong() can be used unconditionally. PyLong_FromLong() is used only because the support of "long long" was optional and for optimisation.
Actually there is not supported platform that can't manage with long long and needs intmax_t. We can't test the new feature. While it can be useful in future, I think this is not a time for adding it. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17870> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
