Well, it works on 2.5, and I don't see why it should not work on 3.0 too,  
so IMHO this is a genuine bug. That means only that when some god or  
demi-god explains the good reasons for this failure, we both will say a  
big "Ah! That was it!" :)

Gabriel,

I usually do that... But from what i've learned, most things i've
thought are bugs, turn out to be that way for a good reason.  I was
playing it safe on this one :-)

Yes. But much more interesting would be to report this on the bug tracker  
http://bugs.python.org else it will fade away...

integer subclass range behavior

2007-12-19 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I was wondering what would happen, so I tried this out for the heck of
it with:
Python 3.0a2 (py3k:59572M, Dec 19 2007, 15:54:07) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32

class a(int):
  def __new__(cls,number):
return int.__new__(cls,number)

for x in range(0,a(5)):
  print(x)


Which resulted in a:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
  File "a.py", line 5, in 
for x in range(0,a(5)):
SystemError: ..\Objects\longobject.c:400: bad argument to internal
function
[41030 refs]


It looks like the rangeobject performs a FitsInLong test on each of
the parameters to range, which uses the function
_PyLong_FitsInLong(PyObject *vv) within longobject.c.  In tern, this
performs a typecheck:  #define PyLong_CheckExact(op) (Py_TYPE(op) ==
&PyLong_Type) that fails.


Interesting!
