I don't know the answer exactly, but the maxint on my C2D MBPro running Leopard seems 32-bit-ish: $ python Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jan 17 2008, 19:35:17) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> sys.maxint 2147483647 ...whereas my 64-bit Gentoo linux box seems more 64-bit-ish: # python Python 2.4.4 (#1, Dec 12 2007, 10:10:30) [GCC 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.0.1)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> sys.maxint 9223372036854775807 ~ Nathan _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
