We've discussed the numeric type hierarchy in the past. I think it would be worth considering all the numeric types at once and come up with a reasonable hierarchy that includes float, complex and decimal types as well. (It's clear there is no "best" way to do that.)
Something like following? object numeric integer int long float complex PS I've already have implementation for baseinteger, but can't made a patch since cvs.python.sourceforge.net always told me 'Connection timed out'... :-/ -- Dmitry Vasiliev (dima at hlabs.spb.ru) http://hlabs.spb.ru
