So to sum this up, you claim that PyLong_FromUnsignedLongLong can somehow produce a number larger than the value range of a 64 bit number (0x10000000000000180). I have a hard time believing this.
Perhaps I misunderstood your meaning, but Python's integers (AKA "PyLong") can be bigger that a machine-native integer (e.g. 64 bits):
Yes, but you can't (or shouldn't be able to) get those values from a conversion from a machine-native type such as PyLong_FromUnsignedLongLong.
