Here it goes (python 2.5 - 64bit): >>> import gmpy, sys, operator >>> sys.maxint 9223372036854775807 >>> gmpy.mpz(sys.maxint) mpz(-1) >>> operator.index(gmpy.mpz(sys.maxint)) -1 >>> sys.maxint+1 9223372036854775808L >>> gmpy.mpz(sys.maxint+1) mpz(9223372036854775808L) >>> operator.index(gmpy.mpz(sys.maxint)+1) 0 I don't pretent to fully understand what's going on, but gmpy.mpz(sys.maxint)==gmpy.mpz(-1) is more than suspicious :) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
