[issue22530] re rejects index of type long on 2.7

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum added the comment:

I haven't seen the fix, but any place where an int is accepted but a long is not, is a bug. The language has been on a long trip to making the two types interchangeable and this seems one of the last remnants.
