R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:

This appears to be working as designed, and so is probably a doc issue.  Python 
3, which only has one integer type, has the same behavior:

>>> x = 2677691728509 << 2147483648
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C long

Adding Mark Dickinson as nosy to get his opinion on whether this is a doc bug 
or a feature request :)
