Still, perhaps for Py3K it's worth considering if PyNumberInplaceAdd should only call iadd and add, not radd. Thus giving the target object complete control during inplace adds.

That's probably reasonable, although it would break the conceptual notion that a += b is equivalent to a = a + b when a can't be modified in-place.
