This seems to require a BDFL decision:

http://bugs.python.org/issue2997 Executive Summary: PyNumberMethods has been changed on py3k back in 2006 with the nbdivide removal, so it's now incompatible with Py2. But there are three more unused struct members behind that field that can be removed for beta1, but have not been removed yet. Should they be removed for cleanliness (patch in the issue) or should nbdivide and nbinplacedivide instead be restored (rev 43285) to restore backwards compatibility?

I've added a recommendation to apply this patch to the bug.
