[docs] [issue34601] Typo: "which would rather raise MemoryError than give up", than or then?

[Josh Rosenberg]

Josh Rosenberg <shadowranger+python at gmail.com> added the comment:

"than" is correct; "giving up" in this context would mean "not even trying to allocate the memory and just preemptively raising OverflowError, like non-integer numeric types with limited ranges". Rather than giving up that way, it chooses to try to allocate the huge integer and raises a MemoryError only if that fails.
