The Slice built-in types are mapped to Python types as shown in this table:

Although Python supports arbitrary precision in its integer types, the Ice run time validates integer values to ensure they have valid ranges for their declared Slice types.
String values returned as the result of a Slice operation (including return values, out parameters, and data members) are always represented as instances of Python's 8-bit string
type. These string values contain UTF-8 encoded strings unless the program has installed a string converter, in which case string values use the converter's native encoding instead.
Legal string input values for a remote Slice operation are shown below:

type. These string values contain UTF-8 encoded strings. The string converter facility is not used in Python 3.
