Could you provide a failing example?
It works for me in this case:


py> class MyClass(int):
...   "This is my derived class"
...   foo = 1
...   def bar(self): pass
...
py> MyClass
<class '__main__.MyClass'>
py> MyClass.__dict__
<dictproxy object at 0x00C158F0>
py> MyClass.__dict__.keys()
['__module__', 'bar', '__dict__', 'foo', '__weakref__', '__doc__']
py> for name in MyClass.__dict__:
...   print '%s: %.30r %.30r' % (name, getattr(MyClass,name),  
getattr(int,name,'*does*not*exist*'))
...
__module__: '__main__' '__builtin__'
bar: <unbound method MyClass.bar> '*does*not*exist*'
__dict__: <dictproxy object at 0x00C15E7 <dictproxy object at 0x00C158F
foo: 1 '*does*not*exist*'
__weakref__: <attribute '__weakref__' of 'M '*does*not*exist*'
__doc__: 'This is my derived class' 'int(x[, base]) -> integer\n\n

foo and bar are new attributes. __module__, __dict__, __weakref__ and  
__doc__ are different from the base class.
If you want to filter out the last four:

- ignore all attribute names starting and ending with two underscores:
   if name[:2] == '__' == name[-2:]: continue

- ignore all attributes already present in the base class.
   if hasattr(int, name): continue
