I see uses of nb_long in Object/abstract.c and Modules/_struct.c, but
no others in the core.   I think the first can be removed, and the
second changed
to nb_int.

[Python-Dev] Python 3.0 Porting information

2009-01-12 Thread Steve Holden
I think we need to make sure that Google becomes better aware of the
solutions to the problem expressed in

  http://mcjeff.blogspot.com/2009/01/python-30-porting-efforts.html

While the author didn't, in my opinion, exercise due Google diligence
there are some valid points in the post. Unfortunately the direct
descendants of

  http://wiki.python.org/moin/PortingToPy3k

don't seem to be receiving much attention (i.e. they remain a framework
rather than solid information).  Do we need to recruit community support
to get this stuff moving? Experience suggests that "if we build it" they
will not come unless and until they are led by the nose.

regards
 Steve
