Martin Panter added the comment: I agree that the signed conversion cases should be an error.
However the unsigned case would break working code that I have written for bijective numeration. See _bytes_to_int() and _int_to_bytes() in Issue 20132, inc-codecs.diff, for example. Since non-zero unsigned conversions work by converting N bytes <-> 0 <= value < 2^N For N = 0, there is only one possible value, 0. ---------- nosy: +martin.panter _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27623> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
