I've been sick and tired of these warnings, especially since in 99.9% of the cases that you get the warning it is meaningless (as we are really taking about bitpatterns that have a special meaning in some C API). I personally haven't seen a single instance of the warning making sense.
I found that all those warnings are correct: in particular *when* the constant is a bit pattern in some C API. It means that your code *will* break in Python 2.4, unless you take corrective action (which you cannot take at the moment). It will break because ParseTuple will raise an OverflowError.
