There are two problems with that, one obvious and one subtle. The obvious one is that __call__ is a dunder method, which means that accessing it directly from outside of the object's class is a code smell. It's not necessarily *wrong*, but its a bit... smelly. A bit suspicious. Something we should think *very* carefully about before encouraging. The subtle one is that foo.__call__ may not actually be the method that is used when you call foo(). py> class X(object): ... def __call__(self): ... return "from X" ... py> x = X() py> x.__call__ = lambda: "surprise!" py> x() 'from X' py> x.__call__() 'surprise!' -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
