A python int is the underlying C long see
https://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#numeric-types-int-float-long-complex,
but unfortunately on windows 64 thats still 32 bits, see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa383751%28v=vs.85%29.aspx.

We have had problems in Geany in the past where people tried to pack
pointers into a long, worked on Linux, failed on Win64.

(I'm thinking I remember you are using Windows, if I'm wrong please disregard)

Unfortunately I can't actually think of how you could do it in
Geanypy, I think you would be better off doing it in C.

PS but at least you have restarted the discussion on the PR ;)
