Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment:

According to man pages on the Web, the kevent structure is:

     struct kevent {
             uintptr_t ident;        /* identifier for this event */
             short     filter;       /* filter for event */
             u_short   flags;        /* action flags for kqueue */
             u_int     fflags;       /* filter flag value */
             intptr_t  data;         /* filter data value */
             void      *udata;       /* opaque user data identifier */
     };

So the `ident` field is indeed an uintptr_t.
However the patch is slightly wrong IMO:

- you should not blindly use `long long`. Python already defines a
"Py_uintptr_t" type. If you need more information you should conditional
compilation such as in (for the off_t type)
http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Modules/_io/_iomodule.h?view=markup

- in tests, you should use sys.maxsize (which gives you the max value of
a ssize_t integer) rather than choosing based on platform.architecture():

>>> sys.maxsize
9223372036854775807
>>> 2**64*1
18446744073709551616L
>>> sys.maxsize*2 + 1
18446744073709551615L


PS : a patch against trunk or py3k is preferred, but in this case it
would probably apply cleanly anyway
