You could do it with ctypes like this...
from ctypes import *
Array = c_int64 * 100
a = Array()
for i in range(100):
a[i] = 2**63 - i
for i in range(100):
print a[i]
prints
-9223372036854775808
9223372036854775807
9223372036854775806
[snip]
9223372036854775710
9223372036854775709
ctypes arrays are fixed length once created though.
