I have a subclass of int where I want all the standard arithmetic

class MyInt(int):
def __add__(self, other):
return self.__class__(super(MyInt, self).__add__(other))
# and so on for __mul__, __sub__, etc.
My quick-and-dirty count of the __magic__ methods that need to be over-
ridden comes to about 30. That's a fair chunk of unexciting boilerplate.
Is there a trick or Pythonic idiom to make arithmetic operations on a
class return the same type, without having to manually specify each
method? I'm using Python 2.5, so anything related to ABCs are not an
option.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
==============================
Have you thought about making a generator?
The boiler plate is above. Change the necessary parts to VARS and place
in a loop to write them out. Input file would have the 30 +/- lines to
be substituted.

Run redirected to lib or program source.
