Now what if the denominator is computed as well?

    ((4*5) - 2)/(4+1)

You need the values produced by + etc. to be myints as well;
merely inheriting the arithmetic methods from int is inadequate,
since these methods return ints.  So you need to extend __add__,
__sub__, __radd__, ...

Expressions are pretty easy to parse and evaluate, btw; it seems
to me simpler to write your own parser/evaluator, rather than
using eval.
