Guido seemed accepting to this idea about 9 months ago when I spoke to him. I finally got around to writing up the PEP. I'd really like to get this into Python 2.5 if possible.

I've detailed my reasons here: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-January/059851.html
In short, there are purely math usages that want to convert to int while raising exceptions from inexact results. The name index seems inappropriate for this, and I feel it would be cleaner to fix float.int to raise exceptions from inexact results (after a suitable warning period and with a trunc() function added to math.)
