I would appreciate if the Python scripting interface would also use an

I'm not super eager to change it for backward compatability reasons.
Were the data types of the elements/attributes in your scripting interfaces
ever officially documented?
Nothing is officially documented. But that doesn't mean that no one is
using it either.
I don't think efficiency at this point is an issue.
I would prefer to care also for this software aspect. Are there still chances
to improve the situation for your release candidate or a tool version in the
near future?
I have no intention of doing so. If you want to modify the code and no
one else on the list expresses opposition, then I guess you can change it.
There are certainly efficiency problems in the implementation, but they
are not in the conversion of strings to integers or vice versa.
