I see -
yes I forgot - that test was indeed run on 64bit Linux.

And that automatically implies that there a  32bit-int cannot be used in 
place of a "normal python integer" !?
I could see wanting to use int16 or event uint8 as a tuple index.
Logically a small type would be save to use in place of a bigger one ...
