I've filed a bug against 10.8 python2.5.   The 10.8 versions of Apple's 
pythons are compile with clang and we did see some sign extension issues 
with ctypes.  The 10.7 version of Apple's python2.5 is compiled with 
llvm-gcc and handles 2**31 correctly.

Unfortunately, AFAIK, only the submitter (i.e. me) can see the bug 
report (problem id 12411585).  I'll report back when I hear something.
