--- Begin Message ---Package: python2.4 Version: 2.4.4-2 Severity: normal Hello, I wrote a function to compute quotient and reminder between time deltas and I was testing it on edge cases, while I stumbled into this: >>> from datetime import * >>> timedelta(999999999, 86399, 999999) - timedelta(999999999, 86399, 999998) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? OverflowError: days=-1000000000; must have magnitude <= 999999999 >>> The expected result is of course timedelta(0, 0, 1): >>> timedelta(999999999, 86399, 999998) + timedelta(0, 0, 1) datetime.timedelta(999999999, 86399, 999999) Both time deltas are within the range documented in /usr/share/doc/python-doc/html/lib/datetime-timedelta.html Ciao, Enrico -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.19.1enrico Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages python2.4 depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.3-6 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.4 4.4.20-8 Berkeley v4.4 Database Libraries [ ii libncursesw5 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline5 5.2-2 GNU readline and history libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8c-4 SSL shared libraries ii mime-support 3.39-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii python2.4-minimal 2.4.4-2 A minimal subset of the Python lan python2.4 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
