[issue21199] Python on 64-bit Windows uses signed 32-bit type for read length

[Larry Hastings]

Larry Hastings added the comment:

I don't think we can fix this.  file_read returns a str, and str can have at most SSIZE_T_MAX entries.  So, file_read could read size_t characters, but it couldn't return them.
