Yes it is. Thanks for finding that @Serhiy. Since nobody objected to the change on the mailing list and people seem to agree in issue 20092: [R. David Murray] To summarize for anyone like me who didn't follow that issue: __index__ means the object can be losslessly converted to an int (is a true int), while __int__ may be an approximate conversion. Thus it makes sense for an object to have an __int__ but not __index__, but vice-versa does not make sense. I will post my patch tonight.
