At Objects/longobject.c, you should see that in almost all cases OverflowError is raised when a unsigned integral is requested from a negative PyLong. However, See this one: [...] if (!issigned) { PyErrSetString(PyExcTypeError, "can't convert negative long to unsigned"); return -1; } I agree that TypeError seems wrong here. Please could you file a bug report at bugs.python.org? Mark
