range(n) return an empty list for n > MAX_INT

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

 run the following code :

  print(len(range(2**32 + 1)))

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

  I think we should get an overflow error (list can't be longer than the
max int value), instead we get '0'

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

  svn version : trunk@157, on ubuntu using a 64bit computer


Please provide any additional information below.

  in the code of tp_range (builtins.c), we convert the arguments from
double to int without any check.
