New submission from Tim Peters <t...@python.org>:
Here under Python 3.8.1 on 64-bit Windows: >>> import decimal >>> c = decimal.getcontext() >>> c.prec = decimal.MAX_PREC >>> i = decimal.Decimal(4) >>> i / 2 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> MemoryError Of course the result is exactly 2. Which I have enough RAM to hold ;-) The implicit conversion is irrelevant: >>> i / decimal.Decimal(2) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> MemoryError Floor division instead works fine: >>> i // 2 Decimal('2') ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 361536 nosy: tim.peters priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Surprising MemoryError in `decimal` with MAX_PREC versions: Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39576> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
