Some more information. CPython uses this code snippet to decide on the PyLong digit size: #ifndef PYLONG_BITS_IN_DIGIT #if SIZEOF_VOID_P >= 8 #define PYLONG_BITS_IN_DIGIT 30 #else #define PYLONG_BITS_IN_DIGIT 15 #endif #endif In MinGW, "SIZEOF_VOID_P" is 4, whereas "sizeof(void*)" resolves to 8.

In MinGW, "SIZEOF_VOID_P" is 4, whereas "sizeof(void*)" resolves to 8.
