Space complexity for storing integers in Python
It depends on the model of computation. In the transdichotomous model, which is the standard model in the analysis of algorithms, we assume that the word size is $w=O(\log n)$ bits, where $n$ is the size of input in bits. In this assumption, the sum of the input can be represented with 1 word, so the space complexity is $O(1)$ words. Measured in bits, the space complexity is $O(\log N + \log M)$, where $N$ is the number of integers in input and $M$ is maximum value in input. However note that normally we don't measure space complexity in bits: if we did, then the space complexity of most linear time algorithms, like DFS and BFS would have an extra $O(\log n)$ factor.

In my opinion, there is no single right answer when talking about space complexities like this in an informal setting like job interview. However you should keep in mind that having a single right answer is not the goal of job interviews.
