In this particular case, I think it's because all ints are now longs. Or rather, there's one int type and it behaves like a long.

I'm not a python dev either, but that's what I've gathered by lurking the python-dev and python-3000 mailing lists.

Just to clarify for non-Pythonistas, a "long" is an unlimited precision integer.
