Dang it...meant to mention that the other day when I was working on those python patches. I had to place tick marks (single quote) around the number and it was converted correctly.
gcope=# insert into a values ( 9999999999 ) ;
ERROR: column "a" is of type 'bigint' but expression is of type 'double
precision'
You will need to rewrite or cast the expression
gcope=# insert into a values ( '9999999999' ) ;
INSERT 25115 1
