[Boost-users] long + bigint

Hi,

I am wrapping a class "bigint" from c++ to python. I have overloaded the add
method to do something like this on python:
>>>n=bigint(5);
>>>n+5L
5

This works well, but if I try to do it vice versa my overloaded add method
isn't called by python:
>>>n=bigint(5);
>>>5L+n
Causes error.

My add methods look like this:
bigint add_bigint_l(bigint const& b, long_ const& l)	
bigint add_l_bigint(long_ const& l,bigint const& b)

and are defined by

.def("__add__", add_bigint_l)
.def("__add__", add_l_bigint)

Can someone tell me howto realize it?
