For example:
class C:
def __add__(self, other):
return NotImplemented
class D:
def __radd__(self, other):
return 42
>>> C().__add__(D())
NotImplemented
>>> C() + D()
42
The functions in the operator module implement abstract behavior (e.g.
PyNumber_Add in CPython):
>>> operator.__add__(C(), D())
42
