 Replying to [comment:7 vdelecroix]:

 > As far as I understand, `PyInt_Check` is equivalent to `isinstance(.,
 int)` and `PyInt_CheckExact` is equivalent to `type(.) is int`. Why did
 you change them in this ticket?

 First of all, it's cleaner to write pure Python code than using Python
 C/API calls (and in this case, it's equally fast). The reason I chose
 `isinstance(...)` instead of `type(...) is ...` is simply because the
 former is usually the right thing to do. In Python, checking equality of
 types is not normally done.

 If you want to give positive_review to this ticket modulo this change,
 I'll happily change it back.
