Issue2090

The bug in http://bugs.jython.org/issue1494 with jrunscript is not solved. It should be reopened.

I think org.python.core.PyLong.__tojava__(Object.class) should return a Long when Long.MIN_VALUE <= value <= Long.MAX_VALUE

BigInteger was not transformed back right. Fixed in https://bitbucket.org/jython/jython/pull-request/9/1494-fix-behavior-of-long-under-jsr-223

Time to revisit, especially in light of recent jython-users discussion and the fact the test was added.

Ok, I see what's going on here and why it only emerges when using the script engine. I'll merge this in. Also answers this recent discussion, I believe:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.jython.user/10467

We now have, using Raphael's patch and an embedded JSR-233 script engine:
TEST >>> from java.math import BigInteger
TEST >>> a = BigInteger('10')
TEST >>> type(a)
class org.python.core.PyLong
TEST >>> a > 100
false
TEST >>> a > 1
true

This is a test program very close to that offered in http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.jython.user/10467. The console interpreter does not behave consistently with this, so there's something to resolve, perhaps under #2216.

I was unable to pull the change request into my repository, but there's not much code, so I pasted it. Now at:
