Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: I'd call this a bug, albeit a minor one. The documentation for 'int' says:
"If the argument is outside the integer range a long object will be returned instead." ... which certainly suggests (without actually formally implying) that an int object should be returned if the argument is within the integer range. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11144> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
