Guido van Rossum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Please do get rid of the asserts.
Regarding signed sizes, it's a historic accident (copied from Unix system calls which tended to use plain ints or longs in the olden days), but it may not be impossible to fix -- we've fixed other things throughout the code (e.g. switching from int to Py_ssize_t). It'll be a monumental task though that's probably best tackled post-3.0. ---------- status: closed -> open __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2587> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
