Still doesn't work:

    >>> class Int (int) :
    ...   def __add__(self, other):
    ...     print "Int.__add__"
    ...     int.__add__(self,other)
    ...     return self
    ...   __radd__ = __add__
    ...   __iadd__ = __add__
    ...
    >>> a = Int(5)
    >>> b = Int(7)
    >>> c = a + b
    Int.__add__
    >>> c
    5
    >>> c+=7
    Int.__add__
    >>> c
    5

Compare that to:

    >>> x = 5
    >>> y = 7
    >>> z = x + y
    >>> z
    12
    >>> z+=y
    >>> z
    19
    >>>

Maybe Andreas' proposal wasn't so bad after all?
