I've filed a bug against 10.8 python2.5. The 10.8 versions of Apple's pythons are compile with clang and we did see some sign extension issues with ctypes. The 10.7 version of Apple's python2.5 is compiled with llvm-gcc and handles 2**31 correctly.

Yes, this looks like http://bugs.python.org/issue11149 .
