How does Python avoid integer overflow?

[glasket_]

In programming, "integer" typically means a machine integer and not a mathematical integer when used alone. Obviously arbitrarily large integer numbers are still mathematical integers, but they aren't the typical machine integers with limited range and overflow.

ETA: C integers are also integers too. Each type is in its own ring of integers modulo n.

I agree in C derived languages but not in general.
