Oops, I didn't know what the code was doing well enough. The
relevant problem is
 seq = PySequence_Fast(orig, "");
That calls __iter__ on my derived list object, which knows nothing
about my overridden __getitem__
So things are working as designed.
Well, back to blundering about. Too much brennivin. ;)
