Is

http://docs.python.org/dev/3.0/reference/lexical_analysis.html#integer-literals

the documentation that you're looking for?

But it seems to me that Lie's original point isn't really
about integer *literals* anyway---it's about the behaviour
of the built-in int() function when applied to a string.  So

http://docs.python.org/dev/3.0/library/functions.html#int

is probably the appropriate place in the documentation.  And
I agree that it could be made clearer exactly what strings are
acceptable here.
