    \$\begingroup\$ It's not even legal Python, it lacks an argument to os.read(). Should be os.read(0,...) \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 30, 2011 at 15:55
  • \$\begingroup\$ @hallvabo, oops you are correct, should be 35 chars.9e9 doesn't work because it is too big to be converted to an int, so 2e9 is as high as it can go. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 30, 2011 at 20:44
  • \$\begingroup\$ what about sys.maxint? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 30, 2011 at 20:46

    \$\begingroup\$ @gnibbler: import os,sys is possible. Even os.sys.maxint works for me (might be version/system dependent). \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 30, 2011 at 21:16
