[New-bugs-announce] [issue37436] os.path.isfile() with big number cause OverflowError: fd is greater than maximum

[Zufu Liu]

New submission from Zufu Liu <zufuliu at 163.com>:

I think it's should be TypeError as Python 2.7.

The doc https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.path.html
doesn't says it accept file descriptor.
