file.seek etc. should be changed to use PyNumber_AsIndex or whatever it's called.

Looking at #1153226, I found this:

We introduced emitting a DeprecationWarning for PyArgParseTuple integer arguments if a float was given. This doesn't affect functions like file.seek which use PyIntAsLong to parse their argument. PyIntAsLong calls the nbint slot which silently converts floats to ints. Is that acceptable, should PyIntAsLong not accept other numbers or should the functions be changed? Georg
