[Zope] Longs on the Property page

[Philip Aylesworth]

I vote for getting rid of the "L" everywhere. It has caused me some
problems and extra fmt attributes in my DTML, too.


>In the stock Zope 1.10.2 distro, putting a Long in a property causes a
>curious error to manifest. When the property page is displayed, the long
>is display like 44353L. If the then change any other property and
>attempt to save changes, you get a traceback saying that the property
>for the long is invalid. You are forced to manually remove the 'L'
>before saving changes.

>May I suggest that when the properties are display, if the type is
>'long' then the display code
>should do something like this:
>str(long_value)[:-1]
>
>This would remove the L before it was ever displayed.... Alternatively,
>something in the response code needs to be modified to accept an 'L' at
>the end of an integer destined for a property whose type is 'L'.
