[issue15988] Inconsistency in overflow error messages of integer argument

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

The reason for the different messages is clear -- there are different internal tests (I presume in different functions), each of which raises its own error. What do you propose to change?

The only thing I can imagine is that when the bytes converter calls the Python int to c long function, it somehow intercepts the error return and rewrites the message for consistency. Is this your proposal?
