Antoine Pitrou <[email protected]> added the comment: I get another error on a 64-bit build:
>>> x = 2677691728509L << 2147483648L Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ValueError: outrageous left shift count (yes, Python is outraged by such a large amount of left shifting) The reason you get an OverflowError in 32-bit mode is that 2**31 is too large to be represented as a (signed) C long, rather than unsigned. ---------- nosy: +pitrou _______________________________________ Python tracker <[email protected]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8259> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
