[New-bugs-announce] [issue8675] audioop module needs an int -> Py_ssize_t upgrade

[Mark Dickinson]

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

The audioop module still uses 'int' for most of its sizes;  it would be better if it used 'Py_ssize_t' instead, so that data aren't artificially limited to 2Gb on 64-bit systems.

Converting ought to be a fairly straightforward task for someone wanting to get their feet wet with CPython hacking;  marking as easy.
