[Bug 1097783] Re: re module apis return longs now

[Barry Warsaw]

Cool, so Benjamin reverted the API change in upstream hg by using PyInt*
instead of PyLong* apis.  You'll see this the next time Matthias syncs
to upstream.

Title:
  re module apis return longs now

Status in “genshi” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “python2.7” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  In raring, some library functions are returning longs instead of ints.
  This is different from behaviour in quantal. This is causing an FTBFS
  in genshi due to doctest failures.

  Building from upstream source exhibits correct behaviour, including
  from upstream orig tarballs and upstream 2.7 hg tip. But if I build
  using the packaging, I get the problem (including sid and
  experimental). So I presume the problem is in Debian's packaging. But
  the problem does not occur in a sid chroot, so is this Ubuntu
  toolchain related?

  Test case:

  import re
  re.compile('.').match('.', 0).end()

  Expected result: an int
  Actual result: a long
