OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C ssize_t
Speaking of which, http://bugs.python.org/issue2690 (« Precompute range length
», which has the - positive, IMHO - side effect that range objects of length
greater than sys.maxsize cannot be created at all) is still awaiting a
resolution.
I think what your patch does is the correct fix for the current 3.0
behaviour - it would probably be a good thing to get in before beta 3.
Cheers,
Nick.
