That has been fixed already 6 months ago in r3657 by catching the 
possible OverflowError here:

             value = float(value)
             try:
                 int_value = int(value)
             except OverflowError:
                 int_value = None
             if value == int_value:
                 return int_value
             return value

However, I think this comparison also does not work when you have really 
huge values like 1e30 where you will get the following:

 >>> print Number().to_python(1e33)
999999999999999945575230987042816

This is probably not what we want. Maybe the following is better:

if value == int_value and '%.f' % value == str(int_value):
     return int_value
