Thank you Martin, the patch LGTM. The difference between __int__() and __index__() is that float has the former, but not the latter. For better compatibility we have to use __int__() in maintained releases. But obviously __index__() is more appropriate semantically. float buffer length doesn't make sense. We have to change __int__ to __index__ in future releases. But this is separate issue.
