... which you apparently don't like, and rightly so. __getattr__ and
__call__ do totally different things in your example, why do you want
to conflate them ?

Of course this still happens when you rename __call__ to __str__.

Yes, put a little more thought on your design and give a more
realistic example of what you're really trying to do; so far it seems
more like a pointless hack.
