I am trying to replace dinamically the __call__ method of an object using 
setattr.
Example:

$ cat testcall.py
class A:
     def __init__(self):
         setattr(self, '__call__', self.newcall)

     def __call__(self):
         print("OLD")

     def newcall(self):
         print("NEW")

a=A()
a()

I expect to get "NEW" instead of "OLD", but in Python 3.4 I get "OLD".

$ python2.7 testcall.py
NEW
$ python3.4 testcall.py
OLD

I have a few questions:

- Is this an expected behavior?
- Is possible to replace __call__ dinamically in Python 3? How?

In 2.7 that would be a classic class, about which I know little.

In 3.x you have a new class, one which inherits from 'object'. When you replace __call__ you need to replace it the class, not on the instance:

  setattr(__self__.__class__, self.newcall)
