Help on class int in module __builtin__:
class int(object)
| int(x[, base]) -> integer
|
| Convert a string or number to an integer, if possible. A floating point
| argument will be truncated towards zero (this does not include a string
| representation of a floating point number!) When converting a string, use
| the optional base. It is an error to supply a base when converting a
| non-string. If base is zero, the proper base is guessed based on the
| string content. If the argument is outside the integer range a
| long object will be returned instead.
