The wiki page for porting to 3.x says: http://wiki.python.org/moin/PortingExtensionModulesToPy3k """ long/int Unification
In Python 3.0, there is only one integer type. It is called int on the Python level, but actually corresponds to 2.x's long type. In the C-API, PyInt_* functions are replaced by their PyLong_* neighbors. The best course of action here is using the PyInt_* functions aliased to PyLong_* found in intobject.h. """ However, intobject.h is no longer available. The checkin message for the removal says: """ r71697 | mark.dickinson | 2009-04-18 12:12:16 +0200 (Sat, 18 Apr 2009) | 3 lines The comments at the top of intobject.h say that it will be removed in 3.1. Make it so. """ Since package developers are just starting to port things to 3.x and many appear to be considering supporting both 2.7 and 3.1 (including myself), I find it a bit strange that such an import aliasing header was removed in 3.1. IMHO, that's not really a good way to encourage people to try to provide a smooth upgrade to the 3.x branch. Much to the contrary. 3.x should make it easier for developers by providing more standard helpers like the removed intobject.h header file. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Nov 21 2009) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: Try our new mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
