It’d be easy to make that work as far as tests are concerned, we’d lose convenience, though: none of the fpylll functions taking integer arguments would work out of the box. Alternatively, we could do the conversion on the Python level instead of C/C++/Cython. This way, it could be resolved at runtime. There’d be some overhead, but the Integer conversion functions aren’t really used all that much. I’ll give that a try.
