Or for big ones:

 >>> long('fffffffffff',16)
17592186044415L

These long and int conversions work for bases up to 36:

 >>> long('j',20)
19L
 >>> long('k',20)
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
ValueError: invalid literal for long(): k
 >>> long('k',21)
20L

 >>> int('z',36)
35
