As MRAB writes, you're assigning int values to "int" here, 
overriding the int() function.  These are semi-equivalent to

   x = 0
   int = 0
   z = -1
   int = 0

so when you get to

>  print "%d" % (int(self.__asn1_called_ident_length,0))

"int" no longer refers to the built-in, but rather a name for 
"-1", thus the error.
