Terry J. Reedy added the comment:
I am pretty sure the 2.x anomaly is tied up with having short ints plus the
anomaly of having one more negative than positive int.
>>> 2147483648
2147483648L
>>> -(2147483648)
-2147483648L
>>> -2147483648
-2147483648
I believe the last result was once the same as the middle result because I
remember reading or even writing the explanation that -2147483648 is (was)
parsed as -(2147483648) (or something like this).
Raymond' also made more liberal in other ways: literal_eval('(+1)+(-1)') in now
0 instead of ValueError: malformed string. The 3.x doc was not changed to
match, though.
