8.1.2 This seemed odd, timeout param is not allowing int? Am I missing somethin obvious?

```auto
client = system.net.httpClient()
resp = client.get(url, timeout=20000)

```

```auto
TypeError: get() argument timeout: expected Long instance, PyInteger found

```

Well that’s a silly bug. Does `timeout=20000L` work instead?

Haha, good to know I’m not going crazy! And yes `20000L` works fine.
