If you take a look at the documentation it says:

The on_data method of Tweepy’s StreamListener conveniently passes data from statuses to the on_status method.

The numbers you are seeing are the object IDs of the Tweets. You will need to do something like:

def on_status(self, status):
    print(status.text)
