That could be a problem. It's tempting though, since we'd finally have a uniform behavior for the PyLong_FromXXX functions (#12965). > I'd be quite happy to see fixed-width conversion functions that *completely > ignore* __int__ and __index__, and leave the magic stuff to general > PyNumber_... functions.
