From the documentation at https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/exceptions.html#OverflowError all integer operations should not throw OverflowError no matter what. However, there are so many issues here that describe library functions and built-in functions doing exactly that (just search this website for OverflowError).
This might cause an expected uncaught exception that the cause cannot be deduced after reading the documentation.
There are 2 ways to fix this: either change the documentation, or change something in the core of the interpreter.
Note: I don't know what versions of python this affects, but I have tested this on python 3.4.0 on windows. (the version that was downloadable from www.python.org/downloads/)
