[Twisted-Python] Porting twisted.spread.banana to py3

[Jørn Lomax]

I have found another issue I'm wondering a little how to handle. There 
are places in the bana_test file that sys.maxint is used. This no longer 
exists in python3, so how should it be handled. Should we make an 
artificial maxint to use for python3. I might want to note that it is 
not used for comparison, but to create an integer over a given size:

foo = [1, 2, [3, 4], [30.5, 40.2], 5,
                [b"six", b"seven", [b"eight", 9]], [10],
                # TODO: currently the C implementation's a bit buggy...
                sys.maxint * long(3), sys.maxint * long(2), sys.maxint * 
long(-2)]

regards,
Jørn lomax
