For the same reason that the following doesn't work
class A (object):
def __init__(self):
self.__call__ = A.hello
def hello (self):
print 'Hello, world!'
a = A()
a()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\Python\modules\testclasscall.py", line 10, in ?
a()
TypeError: 'A' object is not callable
The __call__ attribute must be defined on the class (or type) - not on
the instance. A module is an instance of <type 'module'>.
