Type emulation issues with new style classes

[Chris]

I need to have Python call the the emulation methods for numbers, lists,
etc, when those methods are provided though __getattr__ rather than defined
in the instance or class __dict__.  I've been up and down PEP 252 trying to
determine how Python determines the presence or absence of emulation methods
for new style classes, but I'm not having any luck.

I need to know how I can do what I previously demonstrated with an old style
class, that is hook into Python's introspection mechanism to dynamically
provide an  __int__ method (or optionally __str__, __lt__, __le__, __eq__
,__ne__, __gt__, __ge__, __len__, __getitem__, __add__, __sub__, __mul__,
__floordiv__, __mod__, __divmod__, __pow__, __lshift__, ... ad nausuem).
Old style classes will let me do this, but I cannot determine how to do this
with new style classes.
