native mode, and only when config #defines HAVE_LONG_LONG. Standard mode will eventually treat them as 8-byte ints across all platforms, but that likely requires a new set of routines in longobject.c first (while sizeof(long) >= 4 is guaranteed by C, there's nothing in C we can rely on x-platform to hold 8 bytes of int, so we'll have to roll our own; I'm thinking of a simple pair of conversion functions, Python long to/from sized vector of unsigned bytes; that may be useful for GMP conversions too; std q/Q would call them with size fixed at 8). test_struct.py: In addition to adding some native-mode 'q' and 'Q' tests, got rid of unused code, and repaired a non-portable assumption about native sizeof(short) (it isn't 2 on some Cray boxes). libstruct.tex: In addition to adding a bit of 'q'/'Q' docs (more needed later), removed an erroneous footnote about 'I' behavior. |

Python Misc subdirectory ======================== This directory contains files that wouldn't fit in elsewhere, in particular the UNIX manual page, an Emacs mode for Python source code, and a list of Frequently Asked Questions (and their answers). Some documents are only of historic importance. Files found here ---------------- ACKS Acknowledgements AIX-NOTES Notes for building Python on AIX (all new!)
