That was one of my original thoughts, but the size_t would then creep into all the exponent calculations, requiring fairly substantial changes throughout the code. That's not something I'd want to consider on the maintenance branches, at least. I think just limiting the size of the input string is a simpler option. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19638> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
