It is a Python int on Python 2. On Python 3 dtype=np.int means the dtype will be C long, because a Python int has no size limit. But np.int aliases Python int. And creating an array with dype=int therefore does not create an array of Python int, it creates an array of C long. To actually get dtype=int we have to write dtype=object, which is just crazy.
