I uploaded a patch to SF against current SVN.  The altered code compiles 
and the functionality works with classes defined in Python.  I have yet 
to test against a C-type that defines the method.

The patch adds a new API function int PyObject_AsIndex(obj).

This was not specifically in the PEP but probably should be.  The name 
could also be PyNumber_AsIndex(obj)  but I was following the nb_nonzero 
slot example to help write the code.
