[New-bugs-announce] [issue38643] Assertion failures when calling PyNumber_ToBase() with an invalid base

[Zackery Spytz]

New submission from Zackery Spytz <zspytz at gmail.com>:

If a base other than 2, 8, or 16 is passed to PyNumber_ToBase(), an assertion failure will occur. An exception should be raised instead.

This was mentioned in bpo-38249 (msg353039).
