Is there any way to use xrange with a start or stop value that exceeds
sys.maxint?
import sys
print sys.maxint
2147483647
start = sys.maxint-1
for i in xrange(start, start+1):
... pass
...
start = sys.maxint
for i in xrange(start, start+1):
... pass
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C long
Works okay with range, though:
start = sys.maxint
for i in range(start, start+1):
... pass
...
