[issue24550] maxint on 64 bit platforms breaks os.read

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

Sorry in Python 3.5 the change was actually Issue 21932 (not Arg Clinic). But Victor said that change shouldn’t go into Python 2.

BTW Issue 21199 is about Python 2’s file.read() method, not os.read().

----------
resolution: duplicate -> wont fix
superseder:  -> os.read() must use Py_ssize_t for the size parameter
