As I explained on the thread (possibly my post crossed in the mail with Ryan's patch) I don't believe this is a bug fix. MatchObject.group has only accepted actual ints, not longs, since Python 1.5 (tested 1.5, 2.4-2.7). Nor is there any requirement to support longs, since the number of groups cannot exceed that represented by a regular int.

I don't believe this is a bug fix, I believe this is a new feature, and as such inappropriate for 2.7.
