Python Class with integer emulation

Question

Given is the following example:

class Foo(object):
    def __init__(self, value=0):
        self.value=value

    def __int__(self):
        return self.valu         


        

Answer 1

In Python 2.4+ inheriting from int works:

class MyInt(int):pass
f=MyInt(3)
assert f + 5 == 8
