Somehow that sounds like a trick question :-). I'd say 1e200, yes, although didn't think much about it. Btw the full error message I get for that is "OverflowError: integer division result too large for a float". Even for `Fraction(10**400, 3) / 3.14`. Saying "integer division" when neither operand is an integer and I'm also not using `//` feels suboptimal. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/YEGZVGP4REPRF7DSA7L7B54YOEXJVVMO/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
