Here's what the wikipedia said about it.
"In Python, a number that becomes too large for an integer seamlessly
becomes a long.[1] And in Python 3.0, integers and arbitrary sized longs
are unified."

(Just switching to long isn't good enough - what happens when long
overflows? I generally don't like solution like this because it makes
tripping the bug so rare that it can lurk for years. I prefer to flush
bugs out in the open early.)
A long in pythonic would be a BigInt in D, so no overflows. Python
integers don't overflow.
