Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: OverflowError is for platform limitations (such as the size of machine word or addressed space). When limits are well defined and platform-independent, ValueError or may be TypeError are considered as better types. It would be better to change OverflowError to ValueError or TypeError in formatting.
