-   
-   On machines where C's ``long int`` type has more than 32 bits (such as the
-   DEC Alpha), it is possible to create plain Python integers that are longer
-   than 32 bits. If such an integer is marshaled and read back in on a machine

-   is returned instead.  While of a different type, the numeric value is the

-   least-significant 32 bits of the value were lost, and a warning message was
