I don't know. Simply, under 2.7, int64 inherits from int:

>>> np.int64.__mro__
(<type 'numpy.int64'>, <type 'numpy.signedinteger'>, <type 'numpy.integer'>, <type 'numpy.number'>, <type 'numpy.generic'>, <type 'int'>, <type 'object'>)

while it doesn't under 3.x:

>>> np.int64.__mro__ 
(<class 'numpy.int64'>, <class 'numpy.signedinteger'>, <class 'numpy.integer'>, <class 'numpy.number'>, <class 'numpy.generic'>, <class 'object'>)
