OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C long in computing discrete logarithm

edit

I was trying to compute Discrete logarithm using sage built in method (Don't worry I am not breaking anyone encryption :))

Firstly I defined:

sage: K = IntegerModRing(170105614024288730080534932284438889283915362533105079405708531244397007382373065644323359440168891115028688155796209240525852365277829421681328386791392246695036645057638022446250013789591527999940334485768929906363644007315425771754703250375664803466636053933683807019651127293211599350458256866324942160707)


sage: bet = K(299196491040445553241951165617051874716829217278833896612973261174009330283715758515678905940210529602777565330455982982515099414428556955210176266584330790683846384281907046378906396818048462302829007217996998618862125614365444917802988738452913630023327621067471115458034040074393242514516474485808146482025)

Then tried to compute:

sage: %time discrete_log_rho(bet, K(2), K(2).order())

After that this irritating error appeared:

sage: %time discrete_log_rho(bet, K(2), K(2).order())

    OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C long

I can't get my head around this problem, I've tried to edit groups.py replacing xrange by itertools as suggested in hxxp://stackoverflow.com/questions/22114088/overflowerror-python-int-too-large-to-convert-to-c-long but the same problem still there!

Detailed solution: to be written here soon.

First of all as error suggests that xrange function cause some problem, the file /home/your_home/sage-6.9-x86_64-Linux/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sage/groups/generic.py need to be edited.

add the line import itertools in the beginning of that file, then go direct to the function discrete_log_rho, look up for the last loop for, its location should be in line 631.Next, Define a new variable iterator = 1, replace "xrange(reset_bound):" by "itertools.count(1):" Finally, make sure to increase iterator by with each iteration, and to terminate for loop if the condition is satisfied. In the end you will have something like:

    itereator = 1 #By Triviality
    for i in itertools.count(1):
                #random walk, we need an efficient hash
        s=hash_function(x) % partition_size
        (x,ax,bx) = (mult(M[s],x), ax+m[s], bx ...
