>Summary: int("123123123123123123") doesn't work

Initial Comment:
Now that we're trying to remove the difference between
int and long, it seems fair that int() of a very long
decimal string should return a long rather than raising
ValueError.

The current fix for the int("...") case might be problematic, as
now PyInt_FromString() might return a long object, which
breaks the C API.

Maybe we should have a two versions of PyInt_FromString():
PyInteger_FromString() that might return int or long and
PyInt_FromString which always returns int (or raises an
overflow exception).

I'll open a separate bug report for the int(1e200) case.

int(1e200) is a separate case. If you know how to fix it,
just add a patch here. If you want to put it off, best
create a new bug report for it.

Checked in as:
Lib/test/test_b1.py 1.56
Objects/intobject.c 2.94
Objects/longobject.c 1.144

Should I open a seperate bug report for the int(1e200) case?

If it works, check it in.

How about the following patch (diff.txt): In addition to
creating longs when necessary, it fixes the problem of the
fixed 512 char unicode conversion buffer.

What should we do about int(1e200)?
