assert operator.isNumberType(i)
Interesting, thanks! If I read the source right, PyNumber_Check (which operator.isNumberType is an alias for) basically just returns True if the object's type has a __int__ or __float__ method defined:
int PyNumber_Check(PyObject *o) { return o && o->ob_type->tp_as_number && (o->ob_type->tp_as_number->nb_int || o->ob_type->tp_as_number->nb_float); }
Did I read that right?
