The custom extension is a good idea, and what we do now. But now

it at least at the C level to use a substring. Any solution--be it
buffer based or even an module could have no reuse of the code
without an End Pointer. If we added the end pointer to a FromSubstring
(or somesuch) function (leaving PyLong_FromString alone), it would be
easily reused from any parsing module. Assuming it didn't have any
negative performance implication.
If you really need this for speed, I recommend you make it a custom extension.
