Martin, can you tell us > more? "It works", in a way. You only get the tons of warnings with the right compiler, and you don't actually need to fix them all to get something useful. Not all modules need to be converted to support more than 2**31 elements for all containers they operate on, so this could also be based on user feedback. Some users (so far, just Marc-Andre) have complained that this breaks backwards compatibility. Some improvements can be made still, but for some aspects (tp_as_sequence callbacks), I think the best we can hope for is compiler warnings about incorrect function pointer types. > When do you expect this to land?
