Sometimes PyCall cannot infer that an object is callable, since so many in
python are (beyond simple functions). In such situations, the workaround is
to use the "pycall" function in julia directly. See the invocations
below...
*julia> **urllib2.Request("http://google.com";)*
*ERROR: type: apply: expected Function, got PyObject*
*julia> **urllib2.urlopen("http://google.com";)*
*PyObject <addinfourl at 4660350848 whose fp = <socket._fileobject object
at 0x1168f1ed0>>*
*julia> **req = pycall(urllib2.Request, PyAny, "http://google.com";)*
*PyObject <urllib2.Request instance at 0x115c74d40>*
*julia> **f=urllib2.urlopen(req)*
*PyObject <addinfourl at 4660402584 whose fp = <socket._fileobject object
at 0x1168f76d0>>*
*julia> **f[:read](100)*
