OK. But perhaps better... It's really hard for you to clone
cython-devel and name it cython-devel-py3k, and give me commit access
to only that repo?

Good catch!. I believe there is PyLong_FitsInLong or something similar
to this. I have to check...

I mean that Python 3.0 sources are maintaining some slots in the
struct for no good reason... for example, nb_hex and nb_oct. IMHO,
they should be removed in core Python... But if they are not removed,
of course we still have to fill the struct.

Just a question: Why Cython does not implement old-style classes this
way for Python2.X ? Filling a dict with PyCFunction's and next calling
PyClass_New does not work (I've never tried)?

Anyway this is not really important at this point. In the worst
scenario, Python would not be able to find a source file for
displaying traceback lines in a fancy way (like the one in IPython),
but this is not a real problem.
