Returns true if its argument is a PyLongObject.

PyObject* PyLong_FromLong (long v)
Returns a new PyLongObject object from v.

PyObject* PyLong_FromUnsignedLong (unsigned long v)
Returns a new PyLongObject object from an unsigned C long.

PyObject* PyLong_FromDouble (double v)
Returns a new PyLongObject object from the integer part of v.

long PyLong_AsLong (PyObject *pylong)
Returns a C long representation of the contents of pylong. WHAT HAPPENS IF pylong is greater than LONG_MAX?

unsigned long PyLong_AsUnsignedLong (PyObject *pylong)
Returns a C unsigned long representation of the contents of pylong. WHAT HAPPENS IF pylong is greater than ULONG_MAX?

double PyLong_AsDouble (PyObject *pylong)
Returns a C double representation of the contents of pylong.
