If that is the case, I have two suggestions: a) Propagate the Windows idiom of sizeof(sizet) != sizeof(long) by keeping some sys.maxsize for list length, indices, etc. b) Elevate int to 64 bits on windows too! B is probably a huge change. Not only change PyIntObject but probably create some Pyint and so on. Ok, b) is not a real suggestion, then.

Also, in Py3k, the int type will go away, along with this entire problem.

Regards, Martin
