Mark Dickinson added the comment: For 2.7, I don't see any problem with raising OverflowError for a length that's > sys.maxsize, since it's hard to have sequences larger than that anyway.
For 3.x, I'd also see this behaviour as reasonable, and not a bug. If it's raising OverflowError for lengths *smaller* than sys.maxsize, that's a bug. Unless that's the case, I'd call this a feature request for 3.4, rather than a bug that needs fixing in all the maintenance branches. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14794> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
