Damned off-the-cuff, untested code ;) I of course did a mutable __add__ -
which is a *bad* thing ... but a completely separate bit of confusion ...

class Int:
    
    def __init__(self, value):
        self.value = value

    def __add__(self, other):
        print '__add__: %s, %s' % (self.value, other,)
        return self.value + other

    __radd__ = __add__
    __iadd__ = __add__

a = Int(5)
b = Int(7)
c = a + b
print c
a += 7
print a

---------- Run ----------
__add__: 5, <__main__.Int instance at 00829F04>
__add__: 7, 5
12
__add__: 5, 7
12
