Oops, wrong example: INT_MAX is also 2147483647 on 64 bits. I mean 
IN.LONG_MAX.

IN.LONG_MAX is always 9223372036854775807 on Linux, on 32 and 64 bits systems.

somewhere is here:

Because Python has a sys.setdlopenflags(), we should provide these constants in 
a regular module (sys or posix). I'm quite sure that PyKDE4 would accept to 
add a try/except ImportError: DLFCN is only used in one file, to get 2 
constants.
