FTBFS when building with python 2.7 owing to test faliures

Binary package hint: python-shapely

The following tests fail when built with python 2.7 owing to changes in the conversions from long integers and regular integers to floating points referred to here: http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/2.7.html
