You can do "int(variable)", but it can't be always done (for example,
when variable > MAX_INT):

>>> a=10L
>>> a
10L
>>> int(a)
10
>>> a=1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000L
>>> a
1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000L
>>> int(a)
1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000L
