I’m working with large integers in Python, and I’ve read that Python supports arbitrary-precision integers. Does this mean I don’t need to worry about integer overflow in Python like I would in other languages? Are there any performance drawbacks when working with very large numbers?

Would love to get your thoughts on using large integers in Python and if there are any special considerations!
