Mark Dickinson added the comment: Josh: well spotted; thanks for picking up on this. I was wondering whether anyone would pick up on that, and I should have mentioned the change explicitly.
I do think ValueError is the correct exception here. My interpretation of OverflowError is that it represents an overflow occurring during the computation, and that's not what's happening here: we're flat-out rejecting an input value because it's out of the range of values we accept. Stefan's message influenced me a bit in that direction, too. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20539> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
