Well, the number in itself is not so useful, but... - I encountered a performance problem in Python where I did not expect one - Other people will encounter that, too, and now they easily find the reason behind it (I would not have opened this bug if I had found an explanation) - Hopefully someone is bored enough to fix it and that will make Python an even better tool than it is already. This number can then be used as an example to recretew the problem and verify the solution. - Hopefully no bad guy exploits this weakness by sending large numbers like this one to servers just to see if it triggers a denial of service... ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40793> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
