If the configuration of the callable was in the type, you would need a separate type for each kind of callable. That would quickly explode. Think of this as a generalised PyCFunction interface to arbitrary callables. There is a function pointer and some meta data, and both are specific to an instance. Also, there are usually only a limited number of callables around, so memory doesn't matter. (And memory usage would be a striking reason to have something in a type rather than an instance.)
