I thought that overflow errors would be a thing of the past now that Python automatically converts ints to longs as needed. Unfortunately, that is not the case.
>>> class MyInt(int): ... pass ... >>> MyInt(sys.maxint) 2147483647 >>> MyInt(sys.maxint+1) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> OverflowError: long int too large to convert to int How do I subclass int and/or long so that my class also auto-converts only when needed? -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
