Counting method calls

[=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Ricardo_Ar=E1oz?=]

Hi, I know I'm being dumb but, why does it not work?
.... def __init__(self):
.... self.calls = 0
.... def __getattr__(self, name):
.... self.calls += 1
.... return list.__getattribute__(self, name)

a = MyList()
a []
a.append(1)
a [1]
a.calls 88
a.append(3)
a.calls 88
a.sort()
a [1, 3]
a.calls

176


TIA

__getattr__ only works for attributes that don't exist. The name is
sorta confusing...
