NPR 2002 Puzzle

A puzzle I copied from here via reddit:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 = 2002
Put any combination of plus, times, and spaces between the digits on the left to make the identify true.
The answer was easy and was quick to compute.

I realised that you could evaluate all expressions where the numbers 1 through nine are separated by the permutations of either a null string, '', '+' or '*'

The answer came from the following:

>>> from itertools import product
>>> eqn = '%s'.join(list('123456789')) + '==2002'
>>> eqn
'1%s2%s3%s4%s5%s6%s7%s8%s9==2002'
>>> for ops in product(*[['', '+', '*']]*8):
    if eval(eqn % ops):
        print(eqn % ops)

        
1*23+45*6*7+89==2002
1*2+34*56+7+89==2002
>>> 

So, there are two solutions.
