You could pass it a string containing the string representation of the
integer

First we create a long integer.
>>> a = 10000000000000000000000000000000000000L
>>> a
10000000000000000000000000000000000000L

Then there's the str function
>>> str(a)
'10000000000000000000000000000000000000'

Then there's string substitution
>>> "%s" % a
'10000000000000000000000000000000000000'

Which finally allows you to construct sentences with dynamically filled
values.
>>> "%s is a %s" % (a, type(a))
"10000000000000000000000000000000000000 is a <type 'long int'>"
