[New-bugs-announce] [issue41313] OverflowError still raised when int limited in sys.maxsize

[wyz23x2]

New submission from wyz23x2 <wyz23x2 at 163.com>:

Consider this code:
import sys
sys.setrecursionlimit(sys.maxsize)
Causes this:
OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C int
So what is the limit? It should be sys.maxsize.
These 2 also don't work:
sys.setrecursionlimit(sys.maxsize-1)
sys.setrecursionlimit(sys.maxsize//2)
That is a big difference with at least 50%.
