There is probably validation code in len(), but the method itself can do whatever it wants if you call it directly. So the documentation is accurate in saying the method _should_ return >= 0 but that there's nothing strictly enforcing that in Python for that specific method when defined and called directly. ---------- nosy: +brett.cannon resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36720> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
