[PyQt] Integer rollover issue in signals

[Rien Korstanje]

Hello,

I think I have identified an integer roll over issue when using PyQt slots.
When passing a python long through a signal it comes out as an int. Please
see the example below.

Is this a bug? If so, is there a workaround?

Regards,
Rien Korstanje

'''
Demonstrates an integer overflow in pyqt signals with
Python 2.6.5 and PyQt-Py2.6-gpl-4.7.3-2.

When the button is pressed, a signal is emitted with as argument
maxint + 1. Yet the slot receiving this signal gets minint.

Expected output:

Value that goes in 2147483648
Value that comes out -2147483648
