R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: Interestingly, this (len returning something larger than ssize_t) has not been fixed in python3.
On the other hand, I still think the new-style message is better. Yes, it is an implementation detail of CPython, but that is exactly the error being reported. Another implementation might successfully return the value. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7942> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
