That's what functions are, objects with a __call__ method:


py> (lambda: None).__call__
<method-wrapper '__call__' of function object at 0xb7301a04>

Yes ;-)


One slight disadvantage is that functions don't take a "self" parameter by
default, which means they have to refer to themselves by name:

def spam():
     print spam.attr


Here's a fun hack:

py> from types import MethodType
py> def physician(func):
...     # As in, "Physician, Know Thyself":-)
...     return MethodType(func, func)
...
py> @physician
... def spam(this, n):
...     return this.food * n
...
py> spam.__func__.food = "spam-and-eggs "
py> spam(3)
'spam-and-eggs spam-and-eggs spam-and-eggs'


How about this?:  (paste it into your console)

#---------------------
import sys
class EDir:
    long = False
    def __call__(self, obj=None):
        if obj == None:
            d = sys._getframe(1).f_locals
        else:
            d = dir(obj)
        return [x for x in d if self.long or not x.startswith("_")]


edir = EDir()

edir()

edir(edir)

edir.long = True
edir(edir)

edir.long = False
edir(edir)
#----------------------


I didn't test how that works from other modules or in nested scopes. Also replacing None with a unique sentinel object may be better so dir(None) will work.

Cheers,
