[IronPython] TypeError: integer expected occurs when __getitem__ is called

[Dino Viehland]

We actually have the right infrastructure in place to fix this fairly easily in v2.0.  In v1.x our old-style instances were rather strange in that they were subclasses of our DynamicType class.  Now they're (mostly - other than special cases here and there) just plain old new-style classes in v2.0 which matches CPython's behavior.  So now they don't share this code path w/ new-style classes and old-style classes can be patched.

Voting for this bug would be great but I also might just fix it in the v2.0 branch.

Thanks for the report Tianyong and Seo for the great repro and initial report.

This is IronPython issue #2728, reported last year.
http://www.codeplex.com/IronPython/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=2728

For the IronPython team: here's the relevant lines in the traceback:

# A method of TagSet old-style class
def tagImplicitly(self, superTag):
  # some lines omitted
  return self[:-1] + superTag

So the index type is slice(None, -1, None), and the index should be
converted by calling __len__ (which IronPython doesn't do). And then
__getitem__ tries to index by None and TypeError is raised.
