Patch #1067760 deals with passing of float values to file.seek; the original version tries to fix the current implementation by converting floats to long long, rather than plain C long (thus supporting files larger than 2GiB).
I propose a different approach: passing floats to seek should be an error. My version of the patch uses the index API, this will automatically give an error. Two questions: a) should floats be supported as parameters to file.seek b) if not, should Python 2.6 just deprecate such usage, or outright reject it?
