Comment (by wluebbe):
Some additional information form
[[http://docs.python.org/3.1/whatsnew/3.0.html#integers|WhatsNew Python
3]]
//The sys.maxint constant was removed, since there is no longer a limit to
the value of integers. However, sys.maxsize can be used as an integer
larger than any practical list or string index. It conforms to the
implementation’s “natural” integer size and is typically the same as
sys.maxint in previous releases on the same platform (assuming the same
build options).//
and from the [[http://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.maxint|Python
3 docmentation]]
sys.maxsize
An integer giving the maximum value a variable of type Py_ssize_t can
take. It’s usually 2!**31 - 1 on a 32-bit platform and 2!**63 - 1 on a
64-bit platform.
