How odd to notice that my brain really messed that number type up. I could swear Python has a type called (capitalized) Number and that this handles arbitrarily large numbers as well as decimals. Seems like that 'memory' is completely fictional.

Python does actually have an abstract type for numbers, and it is called Number: https://docs.python.org/3/library/numbers.html.
