The problem is specific to old-style classes: in principle, only them
have all slots non-null even if they don't really define the
corresponding special methods. With anything else than old-style
classes you don't get an AttributeError if a special method doesn't
exist, which makes checking for AttributeError in PyInt_AsSsize_t()
strange.
Given that the __long__ vs __int__ difference doesn't really make sense
any more nowadays, I'd think it would be saner to change the nb_long
slot of old-style instances instead of PyInt_AsSsize_t(). The logic
would be that if the nb_long slot implementation finds no "__long__"
attribute on the instance it tries with "__int__" instead.
A bientot,
Armin.
