Core CPython is not consistent about this. What should we do in
Cython? Should we report this to Python-Dev?
Long story:
In core CPython (svn trunk), at Objects/longobjects.c, you should see
that in almost all cases OverflowError is raise. But see this one:
int
_PyLong_AsByteArray(PyLongObject* v,
unsigned char* bytes, size_t n,
int little_endian, int is_signed)
{
<...>
if (!is_signed) {
PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError,
"can't convert negative long to unsigned");
return -1;
}
<...>
}
