pretty trivial to roll your own... I'm assuming you also want 
it to return true for longs:

import types
def is_int(arg):
    return type(arg) in (types.IntType, types.LongType)


In zope's Script (Python), you can't do that because type() is not 
allowed; but you can make do with the same_type function:

return same_type(arg, 1) or same_type(arg, 1L)
