Clarified the error message in r73535. Leaving open as a feature request to support arbitrarily large indices. |

Unassigning. If someone is interested creating a patch, I think it is a reasonable request. |

In 3.1.2, range handles large numbers. >>> list(range(1000000000, 50000000000, 10000000000)) [1000000000, 11000000000, 21000000000, 31000000000, 41000000000] # those are all billions This means that the 'equivalent' code in the doc will work. |
