Since this should apply to every python module, maybe this should be defined
inside gdb/python/lib/gdb/__init__.py?

I'm assuming it gets included by module "gdb" and therefore "long" is
defined to be "int" for Python versions > 3.

Then we can remove that code from gdb/python/lib/gdb/printing.py (and from
other places setting this type of version-specific adjustment).

Does that make sense?

Hi Luis,

I am not sure I understand how to do it in __init__.py as the modules
that wanted to be both Python 2 and Python 3 compatible would still
have to have special code. AFAIK an __init__.py cannot change the
value of long in other py files. So python/lib/gdb/printing.py and
python/lib/gdb/printer/bound_registers.py would still need special
case code locally, even if that special case was an import for a
definition of long.

That was the point i wasn't sure about (not a Python expert). I see conditional code executing if the version is > 3, but i wasn't sure if it would take effect globally when a module is included.

In that case, i suppose there is not much that can be done other than duplicate the code.
