Stefan Krah added the comment: OverflowError during initialization dates back to the early days of Python:
http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/0437738279a8 Integer arithmetic actually did raise OverflowError back then: >>> 2222222222222 * 22222222222222 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? OverflowError: integer multiplication >>> This of course no longer happens, so the whole idea of OverflowError seems slightly outdated. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
