[Python-Dev] Semantics of __int__(), __index__()

 >>> type(float(i2))
<class 'float'>

 >>> isinstance(int(i1), int)
True

 >>> isinstance(int(i2), int)
new <class '__main__.Int2'>
True

 >>> isinstance(float(i1), float)
True
 >>> isinstance(float(i2), float)
True

why is printing new <class '__main__.Int2'>?
