Fortunately, it's not as bad as /that/. While it's true that python inherits the integer size from the compiler, it doesn't use C's int to implements python ints, but C's long and thus can guarantee a precision of at least 32 bits. Also, due to seamless conversion (see my other post <http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/vwrap/current/msg00862.html>) to python's (unlimited precision) long, the actual size of python's int (or the implementation dependence of that size) can probably be ignored most of the time, except maybe for performance considerations. Cheers, Boroondas
