Try adding __rmul__ = __mul__ like below:

from numpy import *

class adouble:
    def __init__(self,x):
        self.x = x
    def __mul__(self,rhs):
        if isinstance(rhs,adouble):
            return adouble(self.x * rhs.x)
        else:
            return adouble(self.x * rhs)
    __rmul__ = __mul__
    def __str__(self):
        return str(self.x)

def test():
    x = adouble(3.)
    print 3 * x

Output:

>> test.test()
9.0
