[issue1687] plistlib.py restricts to Python int when writing

2007-12-22 Thread lafcadio 

New submission from lafcadio:

In PlistWriter.writeValue() the line 
  "elif isinstance(value, int):"
should be changed to
  "elif isinstance(value, int) or isinstance(value, long):"
since in http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd is no limitation
to signed 32-bit integer.

It occured an error when I tried to write an "iTunes Music Library.xml"
for the line "Play Date3221924209".

I'm sure to understand what 'backport' means. Of course it would be nice
if in future 2.5 versions the read data could be written. But for me its
not important.
