I don't think we need the if PY3: above, simply changing the line as follows
-    lvalue = long(value)
+    value = int(value)

afaics should be enough. Python2 int function will return a long if you 
pass it something outside the the integer range. This will avoid another 
PY3 specific test in the code which we try to avoid wherever possible.

With that change RB+ from me
