sys.maxint in Python 3.2 range() documentation
Hello everyone, just a minor nitpick: The documentation for Python 3.2 (beta) refers to sys.maxint when describing the range function at http://docs.python.org/dev/library/functions.html#range: "Ranges containing absolute values larger than sys.maxint are permitted but some features (such as len()) will raise OverflowError." If I'm not mistaken, this should refer to sys.maxsize. Kind regards, Christian

Hi Christian, you're right; that should indeed by sys.maxsize. This is fixed now in the development docs. regards, Georg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk0ZqrEACgkQN9GcIYhpnLATxgCfTchcK5kKvMeGzAcGcSF8XS64 EZ4AoKmI8DVzyMrNKj1bIQWaKrCnFH1/ =a8yF -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
