Operator overloading and __getattr__

[Samuel Kleiner]

I'm trying to create methods on method access- but __getattr__ fails
with operator overloading(below) Any suggestions? EG:

class NewM(dict):    
    def __getattr__(self,name):
        def fi(m):
            if type(name) in self:
                self[type(name)]=self[type(name)].__dict__[name](m)
            else:
                self[type(name)]=m
        return fi

p=int(2)
s=NewM()
print p.__add__(2)
print s.__add__(2)
print p+2
print s+2

Causes TypeError on the last line
