Webware for Python

In ThreadedAppserver.py  I don't understand how the following line makes
sense.

#Note that this limits the size of the dictionary we receive from the AppServer to 2,147,483,647 bytes
int_length = len(dumps(int(1)))

doesn't int_length == 5
at least it does in a python shell.

What's the confusion? Ian
