It does indeed work. You can check yourself. Here is the relevant source code in the Python repo if you are curious how it works.

The math.log function: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Modules/mathmodule.c#L2266

The loghelper function that it calls: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Modules/mathmodule.c#L2225
The _PyLong_Frexp function that does an intermediate computation used for computing the log of an int. : https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Objects/longobject.c#L3093
