How did you decide between int and long? Why not ssize_t? Also, if index is being added as a builtin, should the failure result be changed? I'm thinking that this may become a replacement for isinstance(val, (int, long)). If so, it might be nice not to raise errors, or at least to raise a more specific subclass. (Catching a TypeError and then checking the message string ... does not seem clean.) -jJ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
