Everybody is ignoring the obvious correct way to do it:

class StupidCounter:
    count = 0
    def __pos__(self):
        self.count = self.count+0.5
        return self
    def __repr__(self): return str(int(self.count))
    def __int__(self): return int(self.count)

Let me just add, muhahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!
