[Python-Dev] Overflow on enumerate() and itertools.count()

[Guido van Rossum]

2007/10/28, Raymond Hettinger <python at rcn.com>:
> For Py2.6, I fixed a long standing irritant where the count raised an OverflowError when it reached LONG_MAX.
>
> If you guys agree that is a bug fix, I'll backport it to Py2.5.

Smells like a feature to me.
