It is too late for this.
You can use the helper that converts the argument to appropriate depending on
the version.
if PY2:
def helper(arg):
if isinstance(ar, (int, long)):
return chr(arg)
return arg
else:
def helper(arg):
return arg
...
v[0] = helper(42)
Or just have different branches for performance critical code:
if PY2:
v[0] = b'\x2a'
else:
v[0] = 42
I don't think Python interpreter should be changed here.
