Side point: In Python 2, id() returns an int, not a long. Is it
possible to be running Python on a 64-bit machine with a 32-bit int
type?
Yes. Win64 has 64-bit pointers and 32-bit C longs (and thus 32-bit Python ints).
And if so, what does CPython do? Return the address modulo 4G?
It returns a Python long.
Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2012, 23:24:47) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on
