Try this instead:

   apply(getattr(self,name),(attrs,))

Note the presence of the extra comma. Without
it, you're not passing a tuple containing your
dictionary, but just the dictionary itself.

By the way, there's no need to use apply()
at all in this case. You could just write

   getattr(self,name)(attrs)

and get exactly the same effect.
