Serhiy: can you clarify this remark? Where do you see the OverflowError? The current exception and message look fine to me, so maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're talking about: Python 3.4.0a0 (default:1b2134a78c17, Dec 28 2012, 10:06:47) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5664)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> int('34', base=2**100) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ValueError: int() base must be >= 2 and <= 36 [66206 refs, 23451 blocks] I actually think this issue can be closed as fixed: the current code looks fine to me, and I don't think the fix should be backported. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16772> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
