I don't think it has anything to do with __call__, since start is
a method. The problem is with your use of apply. The syntax is:

apply(somefunction, arglist, [kwargs])

... so you probably mean this:

       def dispatch(self, style, **attrs):
           if style == 'begin':
               apply(self.start, (), attrs)
