[New-bugs-announce] [issue44664] builtins.chr and the 'c' format flag raise different errors

[Dan Snider]

New submission from Dan Snider <mr.assume.away at gmail.com>:

chr (or anything else which calls `PyUnicode_FromOrdinal`) raises ValueError if its argument falls outside the range of valid Unicode code points, while `PyUnicode_FromFormat` raises OverflowError. Shouldn't the latter raise ValueError as well?
