Thanks for reply,
Sorry I can't explain too clear! I'm not English ;)
But I want to understand the implementation of long int object in
Python. How Python allocates memory and how it implements operations
for this object?
Although, I'm reading the source code (longobject.c and as you said,
longintrepr.h and longobject.h) but if you can help me, I really
appreciate that.
