IMHO. Make your code platform independant and use your compiler capacities. 

If for an 'L' argument PyArg_ParseTuple requires a PY_LONG_LONG, then give
it a PY_LONG_LONG and assign the parsed value into an INT64 after parsing.
 
You dont know if PY_LONG_LONG or INT64 wil not be defined differently in the
future, so use them where they are specified, do the assignment, and leave
the compiler warn you if anything become invalid in the futur.

My 2 cents.
