uid_t, gid_t issue in python tests?

[John Marshall]

Hi,

While doing the python tests under AIX,
I noticed that although AIX uses:
    typedef uint_t uid_t;
    typedef uint_t gid_t;

the actual python code expects:
    int uid;
    int gid;

For example, in the grpmodule.c:
-----
static PyObject *
grp_getgrgid(PyObject *self, PyObject *args)
{
    int gid;
    struct group *p;
    if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "i:getgrgid", &gid))
        return NULL;
    if ((p = getgrgid(gid)) == NULL) {
        PyErr_SetString(PyExc_KeyError, "getgrgid(): gid not found");
        return NULL;
    }
    return mkgrent(p);
}
-----

Shouldn't this code expect unsigned int, one way
or another (as unsigned int, uid_t, gid_t, ...)?

Thanks,
John
