This appears to be working as designed, and so is probably a doc issue. Python 3, which only has one integer type, has the same behavior: >>> x = 2677691728509 << 2147483648 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C long Adding Mark Dickinson as nosy to get his opinion on whether this is a doc bug or a feature request :)
