Tom Zanussi b1dcc03cb8 perf/scripts: Tuple was set from long in both branches in python_process_event()
This is a fix to the signed/unsigned field handling in the
Python scripting engine, based on a patch from Roel Kluin.

Basically, Python wants to use a PyInt (which is internally a
long) if it can i.e. if the value will fit into that type.  If
not, it stores it into a PyLong, which isn't actually a long,
but an arbitrary-precision integer variable.

The code below is similar to to what Python does internally, and
it seems to work as expected on the x86 and x86_64 sytems I
tested it on.
