This looks like a bug in Python. It works for all the other
operators:

>>> class MyInt(int):
...     __sub__ = int.__add__
...     __mul__ = int.__add__
...     __div__ = int.__add__
...     __truediv__ = int.__add__
...     __floordiv__ = int.__add__
...     __mod__ = int.__add__
...     __lshift__ = int.__add__
...     __rshift__ = int.__add__
...     __and__ = int.__add__
...     __xor__ = int.__add__
...     __or__ = int.__add__
...     __pow__ = int.__add__
...
>>> i = MyInt(42)
>>> i + 3
45
>>> i - 3
45
>>> i * 3
45
>>> i / 3
45
>>> i // 3
45
>>> i % 3
45
>>> i << 3
45
>>> i >> 3
45
>>> i & 3
45
>>> i ^ 3
45
>>> i | 3
45
>>> i ** 3
