numbers.Integral is already way too fat of an API.  Am -1 on expanding 
it further.  Recommend sticking with the simplest, least invasive, 
least pervasive version of your request, a numbits() method for ints.

FWIW, in Py2.6 you can already write:

  def numbits(x):
      return len(bin(abs(x))) - 2
