PyMongo returns float instead of integer

I have a collection in Mongo in which I store URLs, for that I use the following fields:

In mongo client I execute 

db.myCollection.find()

and it returns

{"protocol" : "https", "host" : "google.com", "port" : 80}

In Python with PyMongo I execute 

for service in myCollection.find():
  print service['port']

and it returns

80.0

Is my number stored as integer?

Using PyMongo, how can I return it as integer and not float?

From the docs:

By default, the mongo shell treats all numbers as floating-point values. The mongo shell provides the NumberInt() constructor to explicitly specify 32-bit integers.

I guess value is stored as float.

you can cast it to integer like this:

for service in myCollection.find():
  print int(service['port'])
