I just realized that returning a sub-class of Int and/or Long would not be a problem here. The recursion problem that I was guarding against only arose when the possibility of returning any object with an .__index__() method was suggested. Therefore, I think these exact int or exact long checks can and should be replaced with PyInt_Check() and PyLong_Check(). -Travis _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
