Others have given you the real answer -- don't bother with this.
However, it looks like fun:

     class Clock(int):
         def __add__(self, other):
	    return self.__class__(super(Clock, self
                                      ).__add__(other) % 12 or 12)
         __radd__ = __add__

         def __sub__(self, other):
             return self + -other

         def __rsub__(self, other):
             return self.__class__(-self + 12) + other

         def __repr__(self):
	    return '%s(%s)' % (type(self).__name__, int(self))
