Hi.  No need for a module, this is all builtin in Python.

On older version of Pythons, you needed an explicit `long(INTEGER)' to get
into the realm of long integers, or else, an explicit `L' suffix to an
integer constant.  On recent Pythons, `a*b' should automatically produce a
long result even if both `a' and `b' are simple (short) integers, without
any kind of clue that the result will be long.
