Subject: [PATCH 2/6] Add safety wrappers for from_{longest,ulongest}
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 13:15:47 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261023-python-safety-fixmes-v1-2-055b9e1d237b@tromey.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261023-python-safety-fixmes-v1-0-055b9e1d237b@tromey.com>

This adds a couple of safety wrappers for the APIs that convert from a
LONGEST or ULONGEST to Python.  This allows the removal of some
FIXMEs.
