I'm not so sure about that. cmath just uses PyArg_ParseTuple with "D"
which itself relies upon PyComplex_AsCComplex().

D (complex) [Py_complex]
    Convert a Python complex number to a C Py_complex structure.

In order to fix the bug the code in PyComplex_AsCComplex() must be
altered to support float as return type from __complex__(). That's a
major change.
