[issue14794] slice.indices raises OverflowError

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson added the comment:

Paul:  I think you make good arguments that this should be fixed for 3.4.  I do however think that for versions earlier than 3.4 this 'fix' would be bordering on a new feature;  it's also likely to require significant new code and tests, and so I'd be wary of introducing such a change in a maintenance release.  I'd propose to fix this for 3.4 only.
