   It sure does:

Python 1.5.2b1 (#2, Jan 18 1999, 11:01:20)  [GCC 2.7.2.1] on freebsd3
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>> long("99999999999999999")
99999999999999999L
>>> 9999999999999L ** 2
99999999999980000000000001L

    Spiffy, eh?  I'm pretty sure it's arbritrary-precision, which means you can
make numbers as large as you have memory for.  Or is this not what you
mean?

Mike.
