It depends on which ANSI C you're talking about.  "long long" in not part of
C89; it is part of the current ("C99") ANSI C standard.

Only on platforms that support "long long".  It's the expansion of the macro
PY_LONG_LONG.  For example, under Microsoft's compiler, that macro expands
to __int64 instead.
