https://ai.googleblog.com/2006/06/extra-extra-read-all-about-it-nearly.html led me to change to lo+(lo+hi)/2 - would this affect bisect.py??? |

This is a good idea for languages where integers are bounded, but in Python, integers can be as large as you want, so there's no reason to worry about overflow: >>> lo = 1 * 10**100 >>> hi = 2 * 10**100 >>> (lo + hi) // 2 15000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 |

Thanks for the concern, but I'll close this as "not a bug". Feel free to re-open if you can give an example where the current code fails. |
