New submission from Uwe Kleine-König <uwe+pyt...@kleine-koenig.org>:
Hello, the description for chr (from https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#chr) reads as: Return the string representing a character whose Unicode code point is the integer i. [...] The valid range for the argument is from 0 through 1,114,111 (0x10FFFF in base 16). ValueError will be raised if i is outside that range. If however a value > 0x7fffffff (or < -0x80000000) is provided, the function raises an Overflow error: $ python3 -c 'print(chr(0x80000000))' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> OverflowError: signed integer is greater than maximum This is either a documentation problem or (more like) an implementation issue. I attached a patch that fixes the issue for me. (I'm not sure however if I should call PyErr_Clear() before raising ValueError.) ---------- components: Interpreter Core files: chr-OverflowError.patch keywords: patch messages: 310178 nosy: ukl priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: chr raises OverflowError versions: Python 3.6 Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file47390/chr-OverflowError.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32582> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
