Thanks ... I thought int was a type-cast (like in C++) so I assumed I couldn't reference it.
Python has no C/C++ like "type-cast". "int" is the builtin integer type, and instanciating an object in Python is done by calling it's type. Remember that in Python, everything (at least everything you can bind to a name) is an object (including functions, types etc), and that functions are just one kind of callable objects (types - aka "classes" -, methods and a few other builtin objects are callable too, and you can of course define your own callable type).
