[New-bugs-announce] [issue40832] hi param in bisect module should not accept negative values

[Vikash Raja Samuel Selvin]

New submission from Vikash Raja Samuel Selvin <selvin.samuel2 at gmail.com>:

>>> bisect.bisect_right(l, 5.1, -1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: lo must be non-negative

>>> l
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

>>> bisect.bisect_right(l, 5.1, 0, -2)
0

In order to be consistent with the behavior for lo and not return  wrong answers when hi is provided with a negative value
