Yes! It takes a (very) little bit of work though. You have to replace
your module's class with a subclass that has a __call__ method:
# importme.py
import sys, types
class Module(types.ModuleType):
def __call__(self):
print("You called me!")
sys.modules[__name__].__class__ = Module
# other_file.py
import importme
importme()
Other than this change, your module should behave perfectly normally
in every way. Regular attributes, top-level functions, etc, should be
exactly as you'd expect. All you do is add an extra class-level
dunder.
