-------------------------------------- Is an int/long combined type worth it? -------------------------------------- language evolution

Dmitry Vasiliev pointed out that PEP 237 (Unifying Long Integers and Integers) mentioned that a a new type named 'integer' might be introduced that subclassed both int and long. The discussion waivered between whether it was at all needed, and if it was if it should be a true type or just a tuple containing both types for use with isinstance() . No conclusion was reached in the end. ..
