[Python-Dev] Python 2.6: OverflowError: signed integer is greater than maximum (original) (raw)

I may well be barking up the wrong tree here, but as a first guess it looks as though something in the PySysInit function in Python/sysmodule.c is (directly or indirectly) causing the OverflowError to be raised.

My theory would be different. There is a pending unchecked OverflowError before the import, and the err-occurred check after the import picks it up.

Of course, your guess is as good as mine.

While barking up trees: My guess is that it's a compiler bug (i.e. the compiler generating bad code).
