Arguments and PyInt_AsLong
Looking at #1153226, I found this: We introduced emitting a DeprecationWarning for PyArg_ParseTuple integer arguments if a float was given. This doesn't affect functions like file.seek which use PyInt_AsLong to parse their argument. PyInt_AsLong calls the nb_int slot which silently converts floats to ints. Is that acceptable, should PyInt_AsLong not accept other numbers or should the functions be changed? Georg
file.seek etc. should be changed to use PyNumber_AsIndex or whatever
it's called.

Guido> ... PyNumber_AsIndex or whatever it's called. Maybe the API is getting a little fat if it doesn't fit comfortably in the BDFL's brain... Does that suggest it might need some streamlining for Py3k? Skip
