Hum, even with the PEP 393, this string is still large: 682 MB. $ python3 Python 3.4.1 (default, Nov 3 2014, 14:38:10) >>> sys.getsizeof("�"*(2**32//12 + 1)) / 1024.**2 682.6667385101318 I guess that Serhiy suggests to put a @bigmemtest decorator on test_case_operation_overflow(). The test expects that large_string.upper() raises immediatly an OverflowError, so I understand that a new string is not created. Hum, it's strange to have an OverflowError here. Integer overflow on memory allocation usually raises MemoryError, not OverflowError. It looks like unicodeobject.c is not consistent here. ---------- resolution: fixed -> status: closed -> open _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22643> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
