No, but you could bring it up on python-ideas. (It would have to wait until
after the moratorium in any case.)

i think that, for example, the default __rsub__ implementation could be:
return self + -other
which should just do the right thing assuming the addition and negation
functions already do the right thing for the class type.
Georg Brandl ge...@python.org added the comment:
This might work for (normally) commutative operations like multiplication and
addition, but what about those like subtraction? If the interpreter uses the
non-reversed method automatically, it has to apply semantics, but the semantics
depend
New submission from Michael Gilbert michael.s.gilb...@gmail.com:
in order to make overrides simpler, and more obvious to average developers, it
would be very useful to automatically call the forward operations (e.g.
__mul__) when the reverse operations (e.g. __rmul__) are NotImplemented.
