Hi all,

I have this error:

from sys import *
maxint
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#4>", line 1, in <module>
maxint
NameError: name 'maxint' is not defined


What does it mean and how to deal with it?

Thank you in advance,

Katya

It means exactly what it says. Your version of Python doesn't have maxint defined in the built-in sys module. I'd hazard a guess that you're using a Python 3 version in which case you have maxsize defined instead of maxint.

As a slight aside, using the import that way is usually considered bad style.
