What is it exactly that you're trying to accomplish with this? Perhaps
there's a better way than using eval.
This problem comes from solving a word puzzle,
ab + aa + cd == ce
Each character will be translate to a digit and evaluate the correctness,
03 + 00 + 15 == 18
Then you should be evaluating the digits and assembling values from
them. Not trying to shoehorn a string through something that _might_
accept this string and do what you want. In Python 2 it will accept your
string and not do what you want; at least in Python 3 it doesn't accept
your string.
My point here is that the structure of your puzzle doesn't map directly
into a naive python statement, and you shouldn't be pretending it might.
