[Python] System Error : bad argument to internal function

I am new to python programming. I am getting below error and I didn't find any solution for this in google. Hoping any python expert can help me to resolve the issue .

**in _convert_to_payload
# for i in range(length_bytes):
# SystemError: Objects/listobject.c:169: bad argument to internal function**


I am getting above error while I am calling below def _convert_to_payload. Please do let me know what I am missing here.

payload.append((value >> (8 * i)) & 0xFF)
return payload


def send_status_query(self, response_address=0):
payload = self._convert_to_payload(response_address, 4)
self._send_host_command_message(CommandMessageID.StatusQuery, payload) # pylint: disable=E1101
