Matthew Barnett added the comment:

It occurred to me that the truncation of the string when building the error 
message could cause a UnicodeDecodeError:

>>> int("1".ljust(199) + "\u0100")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
    int("1".ljust(199) + "\u0100")
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xc4 in position 199: 
unexpected end of data

This is because it's truncating a UTF-8 string, and the truncation is in the 
middle of a multi-byte sequence.
