Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Documentation Group: Python 2.4 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 2 Submitted By: Christoph Zwerschke (cito) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: sys.maxint should be mentioned in explanation of int type Initial Comment: The Lib Reference says in section 2.3.4 (Numeric Types -- int, float, long, complex): "Plain integers (also just called integers) are implemented using long in C, which gives them at least 32 bits of precision." I think it would be helpful to insert the following sentence here: "The maximum value on your platform is sys.maxint." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Date: 2006-03-28 18:03 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=849994 Added a clause in r43404. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1458220&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
