[Python-Dev] Removing tp_compare? (original) (raw)

ssl.c does indeed use int or long in various places. I'm not sure how far it can go with Pyssizet -- is OpenSSL 64-bit clean?

That's irrelevant for the issue at hand (PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN). What matters is that s# etc converters output Py_ssize_t (unless in deprecated compatibility mode); if you think you then need to truncate to 32 bits, there should be explicit code that tests for truncation and raises a Python exception if appropriate.
