Hi Guido,
glad to hear you're recovering.

This seems to require a BDFL decision:
http://bugs.python.org/issue2997
Executive Summary: PyNumberMethods has been changed on py3k back in 2006 with
the nb_divide removal, so it's now incompatible with Py2. But there are three
more unused struct members *behind* that field that can be removed for beta1,
but have not been removed yet. Should they be removed for cleanliness (patch
in the issue) or should nb_divide and nb_inplace_divide instead be restored
(rev 43285) to restore backwards compatibility?
Thanks,
Stefan
