According to the documentation, operator.__add__ is the "official" function,

You are paraphrasing "The function names are those used for special class
methods; variants without leading and trailing
__ are also provided for convenience." But then there is the following:
10.3.1. Mapping Operators to Functions
This table shows how abstract operations correspond to operator symbols in the
Python syntax and the functions in the
operator module.
Operation Syntax Function
Addition a + b add(a, b)
etc, using the 'convenient' names. I would like to deprecate and eventually
remove the dunder names. To me, the
duplication is not 'convenient'.
LOL, no kidding! The main reason I bother using the operator module is for the readability of not seeing the dunders,
and the writability of not having to type them.
