[issue15301] os.chown: OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C long

[Larry Hastings]

Larry Hastings added the comment:

Serhiy: Oh, I get it, your critique was about the "Note:" part at the bottom.  It would have been helpful if you had inserted your feedback there, instead of at the top.  Yeah, you're right, the note was incorrect.

I considered adding a note saying that the code was wrong if sizeof(uid_t) > sizeof(long) but thought better of it ;-)

New patch attached.
