There are some very interesting propositions (with patches!) to optimize Python int and long types (especially the long integers).

Just trying to clarify the focus: would you like to see any of these applied to 2.6? All optimisations patches are long and may introduce new regressions. It's better to wait for 2.7/3.1. But it would be nice to get numbits() method (or property?) in Python 3.0(.1) and/or Python 2.6.1.

Anyone remember the bool debacle?
