__setslice__ and classes derived from list

According to the documentation the __setslice__ method has been deprecated since Python 2.0. However, if I'm deriving classes from the builtin list class, I've discovered I can't really ignore __setslice__. Have a look at this snippet: >>> cl

PyBool_FromLong

In the C API Docs, the signature of PyBool from long seems to be incorrect. int PyBool_FromLong(long v) Returns Py_True or Py_False depending on the truth value of v. New in version 2.3. The description would suggest: PyObject* PyBool_FromLong(long v) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/li
