Decimal must be a special case. With the code attached by OP and
trunk:80673, I get
$ ./python.exe bad_range.py
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "bad_range.py", line 12, in <module>
print range(MyInt(2**64), MyInt(2**64+10))
TypeError: range() integer start argument expected, got instance.
Same with new style MyInt:
$ ./python.exe bad_range1.py
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "bad_range1.py", line 12, in <module>
print range(MyInt(2**64), MyInt(2**64+10))
TypeError: range() integer start argument expected, got MyInt.
