This is not an option for e.g. IDEs as some functions might actually do something when called ;-) and I like `callable` for introspection.
Other ways would be to check for the `__call__` attribute or use several methods of the `inspect`-Module, both of which are not better than `callable` IMHO.
I totally agree with you. The callable function could be moved to a module and be built-in, but it cannot really be removed. Calling a callable and know if an object is a callable without calling it is definitely not the same thing.
For many of the builtins to be "removed" in Py3k, I believe the actual intent is to move them to a module (e.g. sys), with the removal being "remove from the builtins", not "remove from Python".
Cheers, Nick.
