Dare I suggest you convince Guido not to remove callable(), then? That is, after all, what this discussion is about.

I don't care about the removal of either callable or isSequence/isMapping (although the non-public, small-scale, unimpressing API's I design certainly don't use them), but Guido put them on the list, so apparently he does.
it's spelled callable(), is successfully used in popular and well-designed API:s, is well-
defined in terms of duck-typing, and all counter-examples we've seen on this list are
utterly contrived.
