Content
It occurred to me that the truncation of the string when building the error message could cause a UnicodeDecodeError: >>> int("1".ljust(199) + "\u0100") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module> int("1".ljust(199) + "\u0100") UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xc4 in position 199: unexpected end of data This is because it's truncating a UTF-8 string, and the truncation is in the middle of a multi-byte sequence.
