You are using a classic class while the behaviour described above applies to newstyle classes: >>> class Foo: ... def __init__(self): ... self.__call__ = lambda: 42 ... >>> Foo()() 42 >>> class Bar(object): ... def __init__(self): ... self.__call__ = lambda: 42 ... >>> Bar()() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: 'Bar' object is not callable I don't think it's a good idea to write new code that requires a classic class.
