(Contributed by Christian Heimes and Ethan Smith in :issue:`40280`.) +* CPython will now use 30-bit digits by default for the Python :class:`int` + implementation. Previously, the default was to use 30-bit digits on platforms + with ``SIZEOF_VOID_P >= 8``, and 15-bit digits otherwise. It's still possible + to explicitly request use of 15-bit digits via either the + ``--enable-big-digits`` option to the configure script or (for Windows) the + ``PYLONG_BITS_IN_DIGIT`` variable in ``PC/pyconfig.h``, but this option may + be removed at some point in the future.
