Summary: Problem with SOAPpy on 64-bit systems

Initial Comment:
Python 2.4.2 (#2, Sep 30 2005, 22:19:27)
[GCC 4.0.2 20050808 (prerelease) (Ubuntu
4.0.1-4ubuntu8)] on linux2

I get a traceback in SOAPpy:


  File
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/SOAPpy/Parser.py",
line 852, in convertToBasicTypes
    if fpconst.isNaN(d):
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/SOAPpy/fpconst.py",
line 90, in isNaN
    return (_exponent(value)==0x7ff and
_mantissa(value)!=0)
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/SOAPpy/fpconst.py",
line 72, in _exponent
    ll = _double_as_longs(dval)
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/SOAPpy/fpconst.py",
line 51, in _double_as_longs
    tmp = struct.unpack('ll',struct.pack('d', dval))
error: unpack str size does not match format

I'm on a AMD64 system.  Thus 'l', which long, is
64-bits wide, that's why this fails.

Changing 'll' to 'ii' seems to fix the problem, but I'm
not expert on SOAP :)
