> There's also the minor practical inconvenience of having to remember to catch OverflowError *and* ValueError in try: .. except: constructs.

And MemoryError (for big decimals).

Might be the best solution would be raising an exception which subclasses both ValueError and OverflowError. Or make OverflowError to be subclass of ValueError.
