[Python-Dev] Windows amd64 warnings

[Neal Norwitz]

There are many warnings from the trunk (and 2.5) builds on Win64.  I
suspect quite a few of these are real problems.  Win64 is the most
unusual platform wrt 64-bits due to long being 32-bit.  If we need
64-bits, we need to use Py_ssize_t.

IIRC, we've had some bug reports for Win64.  I know I've fixed some
problems found in py3k.  It would be great if someone could create a
patch to fix the warnings.

The link below shows the warnings from a recent checkin.
