Is Python's ctypes.c_long 64 bit on 64 bit systems?

Question

In C, long is 64 bit on a 64 bit system. Is this reflected in Python\'s ctypes module?

Answer 1

If a C long is 64-bit (like it is on LP64 and ILP64 systems, pretty much any 64-bit system other than Windows), then so is ctypes.c_long. If a C long isn't 64-bit (like on LLP64 systems such as 64-bit Windows) then a ctypes.c_long isn't, either.
