Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:

Addendum. Table 1-2 Basic Data Type Mappings in the referenced OMG document, 
which maps 'OMG IDL' to 'Python' has 'Integer (<type 'int'>)', later shortened 
to 'Integer'. (It also has 'Long integer(<type 'long int'>)' and 'Floating 
Point Number (<type 'float'>)' with similar abbreviations.) So 'IntegerType', 
possibly mashing together 'Integer' with 'IntType', appears to be an erroneous 
term from the beginning.
