#- When I run the follwing code using Python 2.3:
#- 
#- ...
#- 
#- it prints out: 23.9673206147
#- 

In Py2.4a1: 10.2069593628


#- I suppose that Python is getting over-engineered by too professional
#- programmers. The first signs of decay?

Saying that, without having knowledge of all the int-to-long process in the
way and it's implications, it's at least a bit rushy.
