Hi, I want to monkeypatch an object so that it becomes callable, although originally it is not meant to be. (Yes, I think I do have a good reason to do so).
But simply adding a __call__ attribute to the object apparently isn't enough, and I do not want to touch the class object (since it would modify all the instances): >>> class foo(object): ... pass ... >>> t = foo() >>> def test(): ... print 'bar' ... >>> t() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: 'foo' object is not callable >>> t.__call__ = test >>> t() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: 'foo' object is not callable >>> t.__call__() bar Is there an additional trick to get it to work?
