Integer Objects
---------------

.. index:: object: long integer
           object: integer

All integers are implemented as "long" integer objects of arbitrary size.

On error, most ``PyLong_As*`` APIs return ``(return type)-1`` which cannot be
distinguished from a number.  Use :c:func:`PyErr_Occurred` to disambiguate.

.. c:type:: PyLongObject

This subtype of :c:type:`PyObject` represents a Python integer object.

.. c:var:: PyTypeObject PyLong_Type

This instance of :c:type:`PyTypeObject` represents the Python integer type.
   This is the same object as :class:`int` in the Python layer.

.. c:function:: int PyLong_Check(PyObject *p)

Return true if its argument is a :c:type:`PyLongObject` or a subtype of
   :c:type:`PyLongObject`.

.. c:function:: int PyLong_CheckExact(PyObject *p)

Return true if its argument is a :c:type:`PyLongObject`, but not a subtype of
   :c:type:`PyLongObject`.

.. c:function:: PyObject* PyLong_FromLong(long v)

Return a new :c:type:`PyLongObject` object from *v*, or *NULL* on failure.

The current implementation keeps an array of integer objects for all integers
   between ``-5`` and ``256``, when you create an int in that range you actually
   just get back a reference to the existing object. So it should be possible to
   change the value of ``1``.  I suspect the behaviour of Python in this case is
   undefined. :-)

.. c:function:: PyObject* PyLong_FromUnsignedLong(unsigned long v)

Return a new :c:type:`PyLongObject` object from a C :c:type:`unsigned long`, or
   *NULL* on failure.

.. c:function:: PyObject* PyLong_FromSsize_t(Py_ssize_t v)

Return a new :c:type:`PyLongObject` object from a C :c:type:`Py_ssize_t`, or
   *NULL* on failure.

.. c:function:: PyObject* PyLong_FromSize_t(size_t v)

Return a new :c:type:`PyLongObject` object from a C :c:type:`size_t`, or
   *NULL* on failure.

.. c:function:: PyObject* PyLong_FromLongLong(long long v)

Return a new :c:type:`PyLongObject` object from a C :c:type:`long long`, or *NULL*
   on failure.

.. c:function:: PyObject* PyLong_FromUnsignedLongLong(unsigned long long v)

Return a new :c:type:`PyLongObject` object from a C :c:type:`unsigned long long`,
   or *NULL* on failure.

.. c:function:: PyObject* PyLong_FromDouble(double v)

Return a new :c:type:`PyLongObject` object from the integer part of *v*, or
   *NULL* on failure.

.. c:function:: PyObject* PyLong_FromString(const char *str, char **pend, int base)

Return a new :c:type:`PyLongObject` based on the string value in *str*, which
   is interpreted according to the radix in *base*.  If *pend* is non-*NULL*,
   *\*pend* will point to the first character in *str* which follows the
   representation of the number.  If *base* is ``0``, *str* is interpreted using
   the :ref:`integers` definition; in this case, leading zeros in a
   non-zero decimal number raises a :exc:`ValueError`. If *base* is not ``0``,
   it must be between ``2`` and ``36``, inclusive.  Leading spaces and single
   underscores after a base specifier and between digits are ignored.  If there
   are no digits, :exc:`ValueError` will be raised.

.. c:function:: PyObject* PyLong_FromUnicode(Py_UNICODE *u, Py_ssize_t length, int base)

Convert a sequence of Unicode digits to a Python integer value.  The Unicode
   string is first encoded to a byte string using :c:func:`PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal`
   and then converted using :c:func:`PyLong_FromString`.

.. deprecated-removed:: 3.3 4.0
      Part of the old-style :c:type:`Py_UNICODE` API; please migrate to using
      :c:func:`PyLong_FromUnicodeObject`.

.. c:function:: PyObject* PyLong_FromUnicodeObject(PyObject *u, int base)

Convert a sequence of Unicode digits in the string *u* to a Python integer
   value.  The Unicode string is first encoded to a byte string using
   :c:func:`PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal` and then converted using
   :c:func:`PyLong_FromString`.

.. versionadded:: 3.3

.. c:function:: PyObject* PyLong_FromVoidPtr(void *p)

Create a Python integer from the pointer *p*. The pointer value can be
   retrieved from the resulting value using :c:func:`PyLong_AsVoidPtr`.

.. XXX alias PyLong_AS_LONG (for now)
.. c:function:: long PyLong_AsLong(PyObject *obj)

.. index::
      single: LONG_MAX
      single: OverflowError (built-in exception)

Return a C :c:type:`long` representation of *obj*.  If *obj* is not an
   instance of :c:type:`PyLongObject`, first call its :meth:`__int__` method
   (if present) to convert it to a :c:type:`PyLongObject`.

Raise :exc:`OverflowError` if the value of *obj* is out of range for a
   :c:type:`long`.

Returns ``-1`` on error.  Use :c:func:`PyErr_Occurred` to disambiguate.

.. c:function:: long PyLong_AsLongAndOverflow(PyObject *obj, int *overflow)

If the value of *obj* is greater than :const:`LONG_MAX` or less than
   :const:`LONG_MIN`, set *\*overflow* to ``1`` or ``-1``, respectively, and
   return ``-1``; otherwise, set *\*overflow* to ``0``.  If any other exception
   occurs set *\*overflow* to ``0`` and return ``-1`` as usual.

Returns ``-1`` on error.  Use :c:func:`PyErr_Occurred` to disambiguate.

.. c:function:: long long PyLong_AsLongLong(PyObject *obj)

.. index::
      single: OverflowError (built-in exception)

Return a C :c:type:`long long` representation of *obj*.  If *obj* is not an
   instance of :c:type:`PyLongObject`, first call its :meth:`__int__` method
   (if present) to convert it to a :c:type:`PyLongObject`.

Raise :exc:`OverflowError` if the value of *obj* is out of range for a
   :c:type:`long`.

Returns ``-1`` on error.  Use :c:func:`PyErr_Occurred` to disambiguate.

.. c:function:: long long PyLong_AsLongLongAndOverflow(PyObject *obj, int *overflow)

If the value of *obj* is greater than :const:`PY_LLONG_MAX` or less than
   :const:`PY_LLONG_MIN`, set *\*overflow* to ``1`` or ``-1``, respectively,
   and return ``-1``; otherwise, set *\*overflow* to ``0``.  If any other
   exception occurs set *\*overflow* to ``0`` and return ``-1`` as usual.

Returns ``-1`` on error.  Use :c:func:`PyErr_Occurred` to disambiguate.

.. versionadded:: 3.2

.. c:function:: Py_ssize_t PyLong_AsSsize_t(PyObject *pylong)

.. index::
      single: PY_SSIZE_T_MAX
      single: OverflowError (built-in exception)

Return a C :c:type:`Py_ssize_t` representation of *pylong*.  *pylong* must
   be an instance of :c:type:`PyLongObject`.

Raise :exc:`OverflowError` if the value of *pylong* is out of range for a
   :c:type:`Py_ssize_t`.

Returns ``-1`` on error.  Use :c:func:`PyErr_Occurred` to disambiguate.

.. c:function:: unsigned long PyLong_AsUnsignedLong(PyObject *pylong)

.. index::
      single: ULONG_MAX
      single: OverflowError (built-in exception)

Return a C :c:type:`unsigned long` representation of *pylong*.  *pylong*
   must be an instance of :c:type:`PyLongObject`.

Raise :exc:`OverflowError` if the value of *pylong* is out of range for a
   :c:type:`unsigned long`.

Returns ``(unsigned long)-1`` on error.
   Use :c:func:`PyErr_Occurred` to disambiguate.

.. c:function:: size_t PyLong_AsSize_t(PyObject *pylong)

.. index::
      single: SIZE_MAX
      single: OverflowError (built-in exception)

Return a C :c:type:`size_t` representation of *pylong*.  *pylong* must be
   an instance of :c:type:`PyLongObject`.

Raise :exc:`OverflowError` if the value of *pylong* is out of range for a
   :c:type:`size_t`.

Returns ``(size_t)-1`` on error.
   Use :c:func:`PyErr_Occurred` to disambiguate.

.. c:function:: unsigned long long PyLong_AsUnsignedLongLong(PyObject *pylong)

.. index::
      single: OverflowError (built-in exception)

Return a C :c:type:`unsigned long long` representation of *pylong*.  *pylong*
   must be an instance of :c:type:`PyLongObject`.

Raise :exc:`OverflowError` if the value of *pylong* is out of range for an
   :c:type:`unsigned long long`.

Returns ``(unsigned long long)-1`` on error.
   Use :c:func:`PyErr_Occurred` to disambiguate.

.. versionchanged:: 3.1
      A negative *pylong* now raises :exc:`OverflowError`, not :exc:`TypeError`.

.. c:function:: unsigned long PyLong_AsUnsignedLongMask(PyObject *obj)

Return a C :c:type:`unsigned long` representation of *obj*.  If *obj*
   is not an instance of :c:type:`PyLongObject`, first call its :meth:`__int__`
   method (if present) to convert it to a :c:type:`PyLongObject`.

If the value of *obj* is out of range for an :c:type:`unsigned long`,
   return the reduction of that value modulo ``ULONG_MAX + 1``.

Returns ``-1`` on error.  Use :c:func:`PyErr_Occurred` to disambiguate.

.. c:function:: unsigned long long PyLong_AsUnsignedLongLongMask(PyObject *obj)

Return a C :c:type:`unsigned long long` representation of *obj*.  If *obj*
   is not an instance of :c:type:`PyLongObject`, first call its :meth:`__int__`
   method (if present) to convert it to a :c:type:`PyLongObject`.

If the value of *obj* is out of range for an :c:type:`unsigned long long`,
