Currently, indexing a range is such an operation (which is why it fails). While it's a fairly straightforward (albeit somewhat tedious) change to fix range_subscript and range_item to correctly handle cases where the index and/or the length exceed sys.maxsize, it still requires someone to actually create the issue on the tracker and then propose a patch to fix it.
As anticipated, a reasonably straightforward but somewhat tedious change to make: http://bugs.python.org/issue10889 :) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
