[New-bugs-announce] [issue4910] help(int.__long__) refers to nonexistent long function

[Mark Dickinson]

New submission from Mark Dickinson <dickinsm at gmail.com>:

In Python 3.x:

>>> int.__long__.__doc__
'x.__long__() <==> long(x)'

But the long builtin no longer exists.

I'm actually not sure why the nb_long slot still exists in 3.x at all.  
Can anyone enlighten me?
