@whit537 This test breaks in current master branch on 32bit system. Currently new Twitter accounts have identifiers upper to 2304869623. On 32bit system sys.maxint is 2^(32-1)-1, so Python 2 loads new identifiers as long type. If you are using 64bit then sys.maxint is 2^(64-1)-1, so, no problem, Python 2 loads the new identifiers as int type. Maybe are you using 64bit?
