[Python-Dev] __long__ method still exists in Python 3.x
I noticed that the builtin numeric types (int, float, complex) all still have a __long__ method in 3.x. Shouldn't this have disappeared as part of the int/long unification? Is there any reason not to remove this (by setting the nb_long entry to 0 in all three cases)?

We should remove all usage of it and rename it to nb_reserved. -- Regards, Benjamin ___ 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

I see uses of nb_long in Object/abstract.c and Modules/_struct.c, but no others in the core. I think the first can be removed, and the second changed to nb_int.
