__index__ is meant to return the same thing as __int__, and I think the same restrictions should apply here
Do you mean "the same thing" as in both return 'int', or "the same thing" is in __int__(3.4) == __index__(3.4) ? Because that last one is False.
- we have an object pretending to be a string, so there should *not* be a difference between use_as_string(obj) and use_as_string(str(obj))
Hmmm -- so maybe you are saying that if the results of __str__ and __tostring__ are the same we're fine, just like if the results of __int__ and __index__ are the same we're fine? Otherwise an error is raised. Sounds reasonable. -- ~Ethan~
