Is this an intentional change? And if so, is it formally documented somewhere? I don't recall seeing anything about it, but my recollection doesn't mean much. Yes, it's intentional. See the issue for the rationale: http://bugs.python.org/issue19995 Thanks! I'll fix (in this case, simply remove) the test and cite that issue.

Wouldn't it be better to keep the test, but expect the operation to fail?
