New submission from Xiang Zhang: I suggest change `bytes` exception message when an iterable containing overflow integers.
Right now, bytes([sys.maxsize+1]) emits ValueError: cannot fit 'int' into an index-sized integer "ValueError: cannot fit 'int' into an index-sized integer". I think actually when use bytes in such a situation we don't care the integer overflows or not, we only care if the integer is in range(0, 256) or not, just like what bytearray([sys.maxsize+1]) does. ---------- files: bytes_exception_msg.patch keywords: patch messages: 269879 nosy: xiang.zhang priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Change bytes exception when overflow Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file43637/bytes_exception_msg.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27460> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
