[issue7249] Consider allowing io.BytesIO sizes to be passed as 'long' in 2.6

New submission from Ryan Leslie <rylesny[at]gmail.com>:

py> StringIO.StringIO("foo").read(long(1))
'f'

py> io.BytesIO("foo").read(long(1))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: integer argument expected, got 'long'

This is known to cause problems when reading zip data from a BytesIO
object with zipfile. See this recent thread on comp.lang.python:

Thanks for the report!
