Bug #693: python interface doesn't handle int8 correctly.

Ragnar Kjørstad (postgresql@ragnark.vesdtata.no) reports a bug with a severity of 3
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
python interface doesn't handle int8 correctly.

Long Description
This applies to postgresql 7.2.1 on linux x86 (32 bit)

getresult() and dictresult() return int4 data in a python int object, but it should use a python long object, or it
willoverflow. 

From postgresql-7.2.1/src/interfaces/python:pgquery_dictresult  :
switch (PQftype(self->last_result, j)) {
  case INT2OID:
  case INT4OID:
  case INT8OID:
  case OIDOID:
     typ[j] = 1;
     break;
}
...
switch (typ[j]) {
  case 1:
    val = PyInt_FromLong(strtol(s, NULL, 10));
    break;
}


clearly this is wrong....
