No, Python doesn't have integer overflow.

"^" is the XOR operator. GP's code has that bug.

Yes, ast.literal_eval() should be used.

Ugh, fixed it.

Using * * is not really an option now because it takes insane amounts of time to compute something like `123456789`.

And this is just a tiny script - `eval` shouldn't really be an issue. And yes, I know it's evil, generally. But if you think about it, Python itself is just one big eval loop :P
