Perhaps use the phrase "whole number" there and mention that in programming they're called integers. Having a glossary with definitions for things like integer, float etc etc. would be good if when you talked about integers it linked to the glossary. And similarly use "decimals" for floats? Less sure about that one though. But anyway you don't need to go into the whole type thing, just mention that Python distinguishes between doing maths with whole numbers and decimals.
