That's just syntax.

>>> 10 .yearsTraceback (most recent call last):  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'years'

Yeah, I figured there would be a workaround. Also

>>> (10).years()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<python-input-0>", line 1, in <module>
    (10).years()
    ^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'years'

But the other thing is also: can you add methods to the int class so that they're available everywhere? I suspect that you cannot in python, at least without significant hackery.
