I gave this a try and it works for me. One thing I noticed is that if you
run a call asynchronously, the final result ends up under the source block
instead of the call. In the example below both RESULTS were written after
I ran the call.
#+name: test-call
#+begin_src python :results output
import time
time.sleep(5)
print("done")
#+end_src
#+RESULTS: test-call
: done
#+call: test-call() :session :async
#+RESULTS:
: 70e844920752b3411170716dc450c50f
