He hasn't tried calling it. And there's no reason to assume it is a
subclass. The results he's shown imply that the object bound to the name
int is an instance of a type named module* (which is almost certainly,
but not definitely, the usual module type itself, and no more likely to
be a subclass of it than of anything else.)

*Strictly speaking, a type whose repr is "<class 'module'>"
