IMHO it reads better if you use the __call__ method of the class to return the value
IMHO, it makes no sense at all to abuse the __call__ magic method here.
Sorry - after a more careful re-read of other posts in the thread, it 
might make sense, given the use case :
condition = FolderInUse(core)
if condition.true_for(folder):
   # code here


but then, a plain function (or a partial) might be even better - that is, if the FolderInUse class doesn't have other responsabilities.

Sorry but I respectfully disagree that this is "abuse" of the __call__ method. 
I do agree that a plain function probably makes more sense but it appears that 
the class does "other"things because of references to other class instances, etc.
I also have a personal dislike for early returns because I've found it makes it 
harder insert execution trace logging into the code.  Just my experience.
