[issue7942] Inconsistent error types/messages for __len__ (and __nonzero__) between old and new-style classes

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

The exceptions cannot change in 2.7.

For 3.1.2
class C:
    def __len__(self):
            return 2**35
c = C()
len(c)
# gives
OverflowError: cannot fit 'int' into an index-sized integer

Maybe (#2690) that will change.

So I do not see any valid bug or feature request issue.
