Python 2.2.1 (#1, Apr 10 2002, 18:25:16) 
[GCC 2.95.3 20010315 (release)] on sunos5

>>> "".__class__.__name__
'str'
>>> [].__class__.__name__
'list'
>>> {}.__class__.__name__
'dict'
>>> 3.__class__.__name__
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> dir(3)
[ ... '__class__', ... ]

I'm confused. Why 3.__class__ raises exception?
