Guido van Rossum added the comment: There used to be some places in the C code that raise MemoryError to indicate that some parameter indicating a desired result size is out of range, i.e. before even trying to allocate anything. I can't confirm any, but these should probably be replaced with another exception. (I thought string times integer was one such place, but it raises OverflowError now.) If there are any left those should probably be replaced with OverflowError.
