[issue17870] Python does not provide PyLong_FromIntMax_t() or PyLong_FromUintMax_t() function

[Devin Jeanpierre]

Devin Jeanpierre added the comment:

> Making two C functions public is very different from supporting intmax_t. I expect a change of a few lines, whereas my intmax_t patch modified a lot of code.

I requested either a way to create from intmax_t, or from bytes. We have two existing functions (that I didn't know about) to do the latter, so it would fix this bug report to just make those public, from my POV.
