[Python-Dev] __index__ clipping

[Guido van Rossum]

(adding back python-dev in the CC: list)

Right. I guess I didn't recompile after patching. Silly me (as Orlijn
would say :-).

Neal+Anthony, do you need me to review Nick's patch? If I don't have
to I'd rather pay more attention to py3k, which I've sadly neglected
in the past month (apart from giving a talk about it on at least 4
different occasions :-).
