Comment(by nthiery):

 I just had a look at the ``in Rings()`` code. Maybe Cython should be
 complaining when trying to assign None to a variable of a given
 type. In any cases, testing for None sounds good for the time
 being. On the other hand, I am now puzzled by the code just below
 (sorry if I missed it before):

 {{{

     except TypeError: # this is for objects that aren't CategoryObjects
         try:
             return PyType_IsSubtype(<type>(x.category().parent_class),
 self._parent_class_of_category)
         except AttributeError:
             return False
 }}}

 If ``x`` is not a category object, does it make sense to call
 x.category()?  Shouldn't this just always return False? Otherwise,
 there should be an example in the doctests illustrating this.

 Cheers,
                         Nicolas
