Because this looks rather as a new feature than a bug fix. We don't add new features in maintained versions. Always there is a risk of introducing a regression. We don't know what bugs are contained in 64-bit size support on different platforms. I would not be surprised if for example some old macOS versions accept size_t, but work correctly only with the 32-bit size. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38265> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
