Convert a string or number to a plain integer. If the argument is a
string, it must contain a possibly signed decimal number
representable as a Python integer, possibly embedded in whitespace;
this behaves identical to \code{string.atoi(\var{x}\optional{,
\var{radix}})}. The \var{radix} parameter gives the base for the
representable as a Python integer, possibly embedded in whitespace.
The \var{radix} parameter gives the base for the
conversion and may be any integer in the range [2, 36], or zero. If
\var{radix} is zero, the proper radix is guessed based on the
contents of string; the interpretation is the same as for integer
