An OverflowError is emitted in case the return value of __len__
exceeds 2**31-1.
The following code:
class C (object):
def __len__ (self):
return self.l
c = C()
c.l = 2**31
len (c)
# leads to an OverflowError in the last line. It works flawless for
c.__len__ ()

Yep, len() has to return something less than sys.maxsize. |

len(obj) is implemented using PyObject_Size() which is stores the result into a Py_ssize_t, and so is limited to sys.maxsize (2**31-1 or 2**63-1). This implementation detail should be documented. |
