New submission from Heng Sun <sunh...@hotmail.com>:
If I run this one line of code: random.choices(range(2**100), k=5) I would get error: OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C ssize_t But I can run equivalent line to achieve this without error: [random.randint(0, 2**100-1) for j in range(5)] With the understanding of the issue coming from len(), ref https://bugs.python.org/issue12159, I still think random.choices() should be able to handle large integers. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 377480 nosy: mathtester priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: random.choices() raises "int too large" error while random.randint does not type: enhancement versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41860> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
