That shows that your literals haven't changed. They basically never
will (barring *really* crazy shenanigans).

And this shows that the name 'type' probably hasn't changed. It's
still possible that it's not the normal 'type' type, but far more
likely that it's 'int' that got rebound, which is why I suggested
checking for that first.

And that's pretty strong evidence right there! So the next question
is... what got imported under the name 'int'?

int.__name__ will be a start. If that just returns the string 'int',
then try int.__package__ which might give a hint. Also, int.__file__
will tell you where it was loaded from, if it was indeed loaded from a
file.

Armed with that information, you should be able to track down what's
going on. It's curious, though, that you have a callable subclass of
module bound to the name int. Very curious indeed.
