No, only 20 digits

I agree. But consider RSA-155 for instance ... ;)
For an integer literal you could use a string literal and convert it to
an integer:
>>> int("1000\
000\
000")

The escape sequence \ENTER allows to split a string over 2 consecutive
lines. On the other hand, it seems impossible to split a numeric
litteral across multiple lines, compare :

... 000"
'10'
>>> 1000\
... 000\
File "", line 2
