Comment (by was):

 > trac_4237_part1.patch assumes that we always store the entries as
 positive integers.
 > Is this a sensible assumption?

 Yes.  All entries are stored as numbers between 0 and p-1.  See, e.g.,
 code like this in the __init__ method:
 {{{
                 if PY_TYPE_CHECK_EXACT(x, int):
                     tmp = (<long>x) % p
                     v[j] = tmp + (tmp<0)*p
 }}}
