Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: Python 2.3 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Joe Peterson (skyrush) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: OverflowError in time.utime() causes strange traceback Initial Comment: When time.utime() is called with a number larger than an int, it will fail, but the traceback will not show the line containing the utime() call. Instead, the error will be reported sometime later, depending on the conditions. In the attached example (note the file "foo_test_file" must exist first), a number one larger than maxint is passed, causing the following error: Exception exceptions.OverflowError: 'long int too large to convert to int' in 'garbage collection' ignored Fatal Python error: unexpected exception during garbage collection Aborted My original discovery of this problem was in a larger program, and in this original case, I was generating the large integer via a call to mktime_tz in the rfc822 module in which an out-of-range timezone value was used. The call was near the end of a "for" block, and the OverflowError was reported as coming from the for statement of the block itself (which did not make sense). I produced a small test case, which moved the reported error to "garbage collection". Thanks to some folks on the python mailing list for helping to further simplify the test case. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1232517&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
