Hello

I'm defining 2 clases. They are like a matrix anda a vector.  The
matrix
is a square one using list insie list [[1,2],[3,4]] and the vector is
a list [5,6].

I want to be able to write things like that 
  2*matrix 
  matrix * 2
  2*vector
  vector *2
but also
  matrix*vector
  vector*matrix

How can i overload __mul__ for matrix in two ways depending if the
other elemetn is a number or a vecotr? and in wich class have i to
overload __mul__ to get vector * matrix and matrix * vector; in the
vector class? in the matrix class? in both?

thanks in advance
