I think both behaviors are wrong, the 3.0 one is backwards incompatible, and the 2.7 one is inconsistent (accepting MyInt if it's < 32 bits, rejecting it for > 64 bits). For our particular use case, it is very annoying to not be able to use non-ints. It goes against the principle duck typing by simply defining the __int__ and __index__ methods.
