I agree that the second and fourth cases are bugs. The second case looks like a Windows only problem: I get the expected OverflowError on both OS X 10.5.2/Intel and SuSE Linux 10.2/i686. The fourth case is cross-platform, and occurs also for large exponents: >>> ldexp(1.234, maxint+1) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> OverflowError: long int too large to convert to int It's still present in Python 3.0. I'll take a look.

OverflowError on both OS X 10.5.2/Intel and SuSE Linux 10.2/i686.

The fourth case is cross-platform, and occurs also for large exponents:

>>> ldexp(1.234, maxint+1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OverflowError: long int too large to convert to int

It's still present in Python 3.0.

I'll take a look.
