No need
Ps. Just for kicks, here is a simple ruby 1.8 mock-up of the proposal
(sorry for using ruby, but I don't know enough C to start hacking the
CPython backend; I think that a higher-level example is conceptually
clearer anyhow). Reference cycles are not detected in the example.

failure. Though, sometimes implicit is acceptable (e.

Proposal:
When an attribute lookup fails for an object, check the top-level
(and local scope?) for a corresponding function or attribute and apply
it as the called attribute if found, drop through to the exception
otherwise. This is just syntactic sugar.
Example:
a = [1,2,3]
a.len()
