Well, PyLong_AsDouble *does* achieve strict behaviour in this corner case :-). Integers less than 0.5 * (sys.float_info.max + 2**1024) in absolute value give finite results; integers greater than or equal to that bound produce an OverflowError.

I don't see how looking at the tests helps with making a decision about breaking backwards compatibility or not. :-) |
