Comment (by olly):

 The SWIG fix I had in mind is in the recently released SWIG 3.0.8:

 {{{
  2015-12-23: ahnolds
              [Python] Fixes for conversion of signed and unsigned integer
 types:

              No longer check for PyInt objects in Python3. Because
 PyInt_Check
              and friends are #defined to the corresponding PyLong methods,
 this
              had caused errors in Python3 where values greater than what
 could be
              stored in a long were incorrectly interpreted as the value -1
 with
              the Python error indicator set to OverflowError. This applies
 to
              both the conversions PyLong->long and PyLong->double.

              Conversion from PyLong to long, unsigned long, long long, and
              unsigned long long now raise OverflowError instead of
 TypeError in
              both Python2 and Python3 for PyLong values outside the range
              expressible by the corresponding C type. This matches the
 existing
              behavior for other integral types (signed and unsigned ints,
 shorts,
              and chars), as well as the conversion for PyInt to all
 numeric
              types. This also indirectly applies to the size_t and
 ptrdiff_t
              types, which depend on the conversions for unsigned long and
 long.
