Oren Milman added the comment: note that there are functions that rely on the fact that PyLong_AsUnsignedLong currently raises OverflowError for both cases.
such functions would probably use PyErr_ExceptionMatches(PyExc_OverflowError) or something like PyErr_GivenExceptionMatches(err, PyExc_OverflowError) _Py_Uid_Converter() (in Modules/posixmodule.c) is an example, but ISTM there aren't many such functions. however, this is only in cpython's C code. I don't know how many functions in cpython's python code rely on this. also, maybe there is a lot of user code that rely on this? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29834> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
