Why on earth would you bother?  Use the int(x, base) to convert a string 
in an arbitrary base to an int.  Write a similar function to convert an 
int back into a string of the desired base.  Of course, your strings 
aren't in a standard form, so you'd have to do some work to get those 
instead.  Are you really intending to use a base beyond 36?

Then to add two numbers, use +     To multiply, use *, and so on.

Assuming Python 3.x of course.  if you're in Python 2, you'd use "long" 
rather than int.
