PyObject_Str() on a Long no > longer includes the 'L'. Ah, ok... scanning the patches: they don't provide an externed C interface... I would like to have such a beast if possible (basically, the new long_format() as PyLong_AsString()). > You're going to need to update your code :-) > [ I've got some here and there to fix, too, with the idiom: > if type(v) is type(1L): return str(v)[:-1] > ] Your above example will effectively divide the long value by 10 which will probably break things in very subtle ways... hmm, this change ought to be made *very* visible to people upgrading to 1.6, IMHO. I'll fix mxODBC to only truncate the string value iff the 'L' is present. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg ______________________________________________________________________ Y2000: 5 days left Business: http://www.lemburg.com/ Python Pages: http://www.lemburg.com/python/
