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

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

And here is a patch which uses __index__ for uid and gid conversion. decimal.Decimal should be added to the list of wrong types in the test.

I'm not sure about the last patch, whether to consider it as a bugfix or as a new feature?
