Not impossible, just inconvenient. Assuming that the descriptor protocol
runs on access to instance attributes as well as class attribute, the
solution is to use a custom descriptor to return the bare function.
class function(object):
def __init__(self, func):
self.func = func
def __get__(self, obj, cls=None):
return self.func
instance.callback = function(mycallback)
Or you can possibly use staticmethod.
