Vedran Čačić added the comment: Sure, errors should never pass silently. This function shouldn't be called with nonpositive arguments. And there is no highbit of 0 (and there are infinitely many of negative numbers;).
ValueError is probably best - though IndexError can also be argued for, since this is quite analogous to pop from empty list. :-) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23591> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
