fix write() method on 64 bit systems none

Description Wolfgang Ocker 2006-12-07 14:48:09 UTC 
Description of problem:

On a 64 bit system the write() method of a shared memory object fails or writes
to a wrong memory location. In PyShmMemory_write(), PyArg_ParseTuple() is called
with an incorrect argument ("s#" requires a pointer to an int, not a pointer to
a long for the string's length).

Small patch attached ...

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2007-01-06 21:33:41 UTC 
The shmmodule isn't included in python as of python 2.5.  I've committed the fix
to CVS so that if we do an update for FC6, it'll go out there.
