STINNER Victor added the comment: P.P.S.: Just a random idea: would it be a to rewrite PyLong to use GMP instead as a PyVarObject of mp_limb_t's? I'll let Victor answer that one. :-) In the mean time, see issue 1814. During the development of Python 3.0, I wrote a large patch to reuse

Hristo Venev added the comment: I will not add PyLong_AsUnsigned*AndOverflow in my code because I don't want my code to depend on the exact implementation of PyLong. Are you seriously calling a 50-line function feature? Anyway... I propose splitting the patch in two parts: - cleanup: the

Mark Dickinson added the comment: Thanks for the patch! I left a couple of comments on Rietveld. The patch will also need docs and tests before it's ready to go in. There's a behaviour change in the patch which needs looking into: before the patch, PyLong_AsUnsignedLong will not call the

Hristo Venev added the comment: I did not intend to make it so that PyLong_AsUnsignedLong* to call __int__ but it looks like a good idea because PyLong_AsLong* does that and the patch is exactly about that - removing differences between converting to signed and unsigned. Should I upload the

Mark Dickinson added the comment: it looks like a good idea It's not a good idea, though: you risk breaking existing third-party extension modules in surprising ways, which isn't a friendly thing to do. In any case, if anything the PyLong methods should be moving *away* from use of the
