In Python, integers are already built-in data types, so you do not need to create your own integer object. However, if you want to create a custom implementation, you can define a class that represents integers and define methods to perform arithmetic operations.

Here is an example implementation of a custom 'integer' object:

class MyInteger:
    def __init__(self, value=0):
        self.value = value

    def add(self, other):
        return MyInteger(self.value + other.value)

    def subtract(self, other):
        return MyInteger(self.value - other.value)

    def multiply(self, other):
        return MyInteger(self.value * other.value)

    def divide(self, other):
        try:
            return MyInteger(self.value / other.value)
        except ZeroDivisionError:
            return "Error: Division by zero"

    def modulo(self, other):
        return MyInteger(self.value % other.value)

    def __str__(self):
        return str(self.value)

You can use this implementation as follows:

# create two MyInteger objects
a = MyInteger(5)
b = MyInteger(3)

# perform arithmetic operations
c = a.add(b)
d = a.subtract(b)
e = a.multiply(b)
f = a.divide(b)
g = a.modulo(b)

# print results
print(c) # prints "8"
print(d) # prints "2"
print(e) # prints "15"
print(f) # prints "1.6666666666666667"
print(g) # prints "2"
