Indeed.  In that case you need two keywords to __init__, and the 
discipline to always use the keyword syntax at least for the optional 
function paramater.  On the bright side, if one forgets, it blows up 
pretty quickly.

Whether it's worth the extra effort depends on the programmer's tastes, 
of course.

     func = None

     def __init__(self, dec_func=None, opt_func=None):
         if opt_func is None:
             if dec_func is not None: # was written without ()'s
                 self.func = dec_func
