Why? RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded!

I'm not sure whats we try to explain to me! Whats wrong?

doubler.py 
class Double(int):
    def __new__(*args, **kwargs):
        return 2 * int.__new__(*args, **kwargs)

class int:
    def __new__(*args, **kwargs):
        self = int.__new__(*args, **kwargs)
        self = self[::-1]
        return self
