Ah, "the internal representation" was meant to refer a hypothetical representation, rather than literally to CPython's actual implementation, but now that you point it out, I agree my wording is ambiguous. I like Tim's suggested replacement: ===================== 4. Performing these calculations with at least one extra sign extension bit in a finite two's complement representation (a working bit-width of ``1 + max(x.bit_length(), y.bit_length()`` or more) is sufficient to get the same result as if there were an infinite number of sign bits. ===================== ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue29710> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
