I think PEP 357 and the corresponding patch (python.org/sf/1436368) ae looking pretty good, except for one issue:
Currently, when calling the __index__() method on a long with a value exceeding the boundaries of ssize_t will raise OverflowError. The C API chooses to clip such values, but the Python version thows an exception. I think the Python API ought to be allowed to return any long value and it's up to the C API to clip it. Apart from that, I'm ready to accept the PEP.
