[New-bugs-announce] [issue36972] Add SupportsIndex

[Paul Dagnelie]

New submission from Paul Dagnelie <pcd at delphix.com>:

In order to allow hex() oct() and bin() to be used on user-defined classes, and to check if they can be used on a class at runtime, a SupportsIndex protocol would be useful to integrate.  A PR already exists in the backport repo for this issue: https://github.com/python/typing/pull/630
